We’re undertaking regular engagement with our members and industry partners to gain expert insights. 

Underlying Principles – CLOSED

Scottish Care’s previous consultation exercise, as part of our Scottish Government project, focussed on the underlying principles of ethical commissioning and procurement.

Members’ insights, provided through a series of questionnaires, identified areas for improvement in regards to the commissioning and procurement of independent adult social care services:

• • • The outcomes used by commissioning agencies in their locality, and their relevance to the care delivered by your service.
    • The commissioning process: its duration, ease, and the available official mechanisms you have to engage in dialogue with commissioning agencies.
• Thank you to members’ who provided their insights.

The Strategic Business Sustainability Working Group (SBSG)

The SBSG welcome the expertise of our members on matters relating to business sustainability, commissioning and procurement, to drive Scottish Care’s ongoing advocacy.

Membership remains open to all members, and those interested are invited to get in contact through [email protected].
