Commissioning for Maximum Value

How will you ensure that you've taken account of social value now the Public Services (Social Value) bill has been enacted by Parliament?

Good commissioning requires many factors to be taken into account at each stage of the commissioning process, in order to achieve regulatory and policy aims, including value for money and reduced inequality.

This training course, based on a "Guide to Commissioning for Maximum Value", LGA 2012, written by The SROI Network, will offer some underpinning principles and ways of looking at social value to bring clarity to a complex field. It offers a chance to try out some of the professional practices around understanding, measuring and valuing outcomes. It presents the Commissioning for Maximum Value model, a flexible approach to guide the difficult professional judgements that commissioners make.

The course is suitable for those working in a commissioning team and the English Public Sector in any role (finance, community consultation, policy, heads of service and others), particularly those teams responsible for commissioning relational public services.

The course will cover the following topics: 

• Introduction to what is meant by social value and SROI
• Scene setting on commissioning practice and cycles
• Using parts of the SROI method and principles to account for value
• A model for "Commissioning for maximum value"
• Further resources and opportunities to develop professional practice.
