Commissioning Alliance exists to support local authorities in effectively commissioning services for their most vulnerable residents.
In children’s social care, we work across fostering, residential homes, and semi-independent living.
Our
markets
Our brokerage platform and wrap around support mean you can commission services based on your exact requirements, and ultimately deliver better outcomes for the most vulnerable.
We will support you through the full process, from detailing needs, automatically issuing requests to our trusted providers, and contracting.

Residential homes
Facilitating the better procurement of residential home placements through collective purchasing, provider engagement, quality management, and compliance.
Semi-Independent living
Data analytics to enable understanding of spend and activity; and developing a consistent pricing model to bring transparency and fairness to the market.
SEND
Working closely with INMSS, our SEND team helps local authorities navigate placement price uplifts, promoting fair and sustainable outcomes through shared negotiation, significantly reducing duplication for busy schools and local authority teams.

“I very much value the partnership approach of the [Commissioning] Alliance and the collegiate nature of the relationship…. This working together is important to an organisation like ours – a social enterprise with a social mission [of] ‘turning children’s lives around’. We would like to see the Alliance flourish and gain members because we think your approach is the right one; it’s not all about cost but the right placement, at the right time, delivering good value.”
