Abstract

This report is the second output from research on commissioning and procurement of adult social care (ASC) support and services in Scotland, conducted on behalf of the Coalition of Care and Support Providers in Scotland (CCPS) between March and June 2024. The research was undertaken in advance of the Scottish Government publishing its draft amendments to Stage 2 of the National Care Service (NCS) Bill. The reports build on previous publications by CCPS, including a series of interviews with representatives of third sector providers.

Report 1 provides a brief summary of the context for strategic planning, commissioning and procurement of ASC in Scotland and the results of a scoping literature review of published evidence and guidance on ethical commissioning.

Report 2 (this report) presents the results of qualitative interviews with a sample of national and local stakeholders involved in commissioning and procurement of ASC support and services in Scotland. It describes how current commissioning and procurement practice relates to the strategic planning intent of Integration Authorities (IAs) and considers the enablers and barriers for ethical commissioning. The results are clustered around six themes and related sub-themes, each illustrated by stakeholder quotes, examples of what is happening now, and suggestions by the interviewees on actionable ideas to improve the experience and outcomes for commissioners, providers, people and communities.
