Commissioner masterclass - Collaborative commissioning and purpose-driven procurement

This session is a space for commissioners to hear about and explore collaborative commissioning and purpose-driven procurement.

Overview

This session will look at better ways to work together when organising and buying services that focus on people’s needs.  We’ll explore approaches that move away from a purely commercial, process-heavy system and instead focus on collaboration and shared purpose.

Key ideas we’ll cover include:

• System stewardship rather than market purchasing – leading and shaping the system rather than just buying from a market.
• Partnership rather than procurement – building relationships instead of just signing contracts.
• Collaboration rather than competition – working together rather than competing for resources.
• People focus rather than a profit focus – prioritizing human outcomes over financial gain.
• Relational rather than transactional approaches – creating trust and connection instead of one-off deals.
• Inherent public value rather than added social value – recognising the core value of public services beyond extra benefits.

Key speakers

• Julian Blake, Partner - Public Services at Stone King LPP
• Lisa Wilson, Integrated Director of Commissioning - Royal Borough of Greenwich
