SCOPE have been a strong advocate for improved procurement practices in services for decades, developing greater understanding between differing sectors. With the advent of strategic commissioning, old approaches to procurement are simply not fit for purpose.

SCOPE has experience of managing a procurement process using a business case based approach. With new mixed models of procurement and the real potential to incorporate the Third Sector into solutions, we are at the forefront of thinking in this area and have access to some of the leading experts in contract management, performance mechanisms, contract law and output specifications.
