BV024Standing Guide to the Commissioning of Local Authority Work and Services (2008)

The Commissioning Joint Committee (the CJC) has released the latest version of its popular and comprehensive Standing Guide to the Commissioning of Local Authority Work and Services.

This year's revisions include:

  • the wider regulatory framework within which local authorities operate, including best value, intervention by ministers, and community strategies and planning
  • the exact and sometimes controversial scope of wellbeing powers
  • a complete revamp of all parts addressing the key options in packaging and commissioning
  • collaboration, meaning the many different processes (less formal than delegation) which recent legislation has provided to help partnership working
  • recent decisions about freedom of information so far as they affect commissioning
  • the widespread effect of recent legislation about companies, charities, health services and waste authorities.

    Further details about the guide can be found on the CIPFA shop.
