  • « Complex Commissioning for Complex Needs
  • Public service: state of transformation conference – it doesn’t have to be this way »

Overview

Public services across the country are facing unprecedented challenges, and the West Midlands are no exception. As demand for services is going up and budgets are shrinking, outcomes-based approaches to commissioning, such as social impact bonds (SIBs), have emerged as potentially useful tools. Proponents claim these approaches can improve the delivery of public services by fostering greater collaboration across multiple commissioners and delivery organisations, and by enabling a wider adoption of preventative and innovative models of service delivery. However, detractors point to the perceived complexity of these approaches and ambiguity around the role played by third parties such as social investors.

This conference seeks to explore the opportunities for public service managers in the West Midlands to benefit from these newer approaches to commissioning and service delivery, and clarify the main benefits and challenges as compared to more traditional ways of delivering public services. In particular, it will seek to build on existing examples of best practice across the region and beyond to highlight how public authorities in the West Midlands might tackle complex social problems such as children on the edge of care, long-term health conditions, mental health, and adult social care.

The event is organised by the Government Outcomes Lab in partnership with the Office for Civil Society at DCMS, Big Society Capital, West Midlands Combined Authority, and Improvement and Efficiency West Midlands.

About the conference

The conference will provide an honest and impartial perspective on some innovative approaches and facilitate peer-to-peer discussion and learning. The event will feature presentations from experienced commissioners, followed by a series of thematic workshop sessions in the afternoon, where commissioners will have the chance to share their own challenges and work collaboratively to start developing practical solutions for the most salient social challenges in their area.

Attendees will have the opportunity to:

  • Enhance their understanding of outcome based commissioning and SIBs, and their practical implementation
  • Learn more about when a social impact bond (SIB) approach might be helpful and when it might not, how to approach the development of a SIB and the pitfalls to avoid
  • Reflect on the opportunities and barriers to using outcome based commissioning to tackle complex social issues
  • Ask questions and share their own experiences of developing SIBs or other types of outcome focused approaches.

Who is the conference for?

The event is aimed at commissioners and procurement officers in public authorities in the region (including councils, CCGs / STPs, and PCCs) and representatives of carefully selected VCSE providers. The event is aimed at both local public agencies who have already developed outcomes-based approaches, including but not limited to SIBs, and those who are new to the space.

The below agenda is provisional and may change in the run-up to the event – changes will be shown as they are made. Further speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.
