How we buy services and support for people in the community
This process is known as commissioning.
Commissioning means designing, managing, and overseeing the quality of providers who deliver services that help people:
- Stay healthy and independent at home
- Get the support they need during health or care emergencies
- Provide long term care home support when its required
We work closely with NHS Gloucestershire and other partners to make this happen.
The commissioning cycle
Commissioners follow a continuous cycle to make sure services are high-quality and effective. This includes:
- Using data, evidence, and technology to guide decisions
- Focusing on outcomes—what really makes a difference in people’s lives
- Listening to local voices and working with partners
- Learning and improving all the time
People at the heart
Everything we do is centred around the people of Gloucestershire. We aim to:
- Understand what matters most to individuals and communities
- Allocate resources where they’ll have the biggest impact
- Build services that are responsive, inclusive, local (where needed) and empowering
