Staffordshire’s Third Sector Commissioning Partnership has succeeded in securing buy-in from all of the public sector organisations operating in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.
The move is a major step in making commissioning and procurement in the public and voluntary sector more transparent, consistent and efficient.
The partnership includes Staffordshire County Council, Stoke-on-Trent City Council, all eight District Councils, three Primary Care Trusts, the Fire and Rescue Service, Staffordshire Police and the Probation Service.
It has adopted a Total Place approach by mapping money spent by the public sector on voluntary sector services. The purpose is to make commissioning and procurement fairer and more transparent, and to create efficiencies by rolling multiple contracts into one.
Data received by the partnership so far reveal 26 public sector organisations have invested £70 million in 1,000 voluntary and community organisations across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.
