Authority: Luton Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionLuton council is embarking on a major strategic commissioning transformation journey. We want to improve performance and maximise value through a more consistent, integrated and outcomes-focused approach to commissioning and contract management and generate savings. The provider will be required to work at pace alongside a cross council team to design and implement a coherent, high quality, and sustainable end to end model for strategic commissioning and contract management. This model will enhance financial sustainability, strengthen organisational capability, embed social value, and drive improved outcomes for residents. The programme will reinforce the council’s full commissioning and contract management lifecycle, ensuring social value commitments are consistently incorporated, monitored, and enforced from commissioning through to contract delivery.
