East Sussex VCSE Alliance – Commissioning Workshop Report December 2022

The second commissioning workshop was held with VCSE Alliance members and statutory commissioners in November 2022.

It focussed on Service Monitoring – how to achieve a more proportionate and co-productive approach.

Workshop objectives

• To consider how the Council, NHS partners and VCSE sector can best work together to improve service monitoring
• To develop a shared view of the main barriers and priorities for action
• To share ideas about a Commissioning Academy and agree possible ways forward in developing a suitable model

Key messages

• Develop a better shared understanding of each other’s perspectives from more sustained working together

• The need for working towards a shared culture
• The need to develop more consistency of approach, based on different levels of requirement depending on risk and size of contract

A Commissioning Academy for East Sussex- what might it look like, how do we begin to develop it?

• A joint approach to developing a Commissioning Academy was agreed, with a Steering Group established to manage this programme of work in 2023
