Commissioning and Brokerage Procedures

This procedure should be used by all adult social care practitioners, with the exception of:

1. Practitioners arranging assistive technology;
2. Practitioners arranging minor works or low level adaptations;
3. Occupational Therapy practitioners arranging equipment or a major adaptation.

Although this procedure may be helpful to those people with responsibility for commissioning or brokering services, it does not provide specific guidance about arranging, monitoring or reviewing contracts, or any other associated actions that may be required. Anyone carrying out such actions should refer to available local processes.

Information will be added at a later date.

Please refer to available guidance in the local resources.
