Children’s Services Commissioning Team

Lincolnshire County Council’s Business Plan, Vision and Purpose states:-  

‘Commissioning for outcomes based on our communities’ needs’. 

The intention to become more of a commissioning council makes sense given our track record in partnering and outsourcing. This forms part of LCC’s Business Plan which links to the Children and Young People’s Strategic Partnership’s agreed key priority of ‘Community Aspiration’ in its vision:-

‘That every child in every part of the county should achieve their potential’.

Commissioning improved outcomes for children and their families is a much broader activity than purely procuring goods and services.  It is fundamentally dependant upon strong leadership, capable people and effective processes.

We define Commissioning as the process for deciding how to use the total resource available for children and their families in order to continuously improve outcomes in the most efficient, effective, economic, equitable and sustainable way.
