Contract across the commissioning cycle
Mental Health Strategies has been successful in gaining contracts to support Primary Care Trusts across all parts of the commissioning cycle:
• Needs assessment
• Developing a commissioning strategy
• Approaches to contracting
• Performance management and performance metrics
• Public consultation and involvement
The range of experience is increasingly enabling us to offer arrangements which go beyond short, discreet projects; we are able instead to offer longer-term involvement, to carry our work through to the next stages of implementation, and to develop real partnerships with commissioners. This offers greater security to all parties, ensures continuity of work and thinking, and can offer excellent value for money.
