Commissioning Consultancy Review

Commissioning Consultancy was reviewed in the 10-23 September 2003 issue of Care and Health. The reviewer said:

Those who commission and manage consultants are no doubt aware of the pitfalls inherent in using 'outsiders' for training, project management, consultancy or research. This guide aims to minimise problems and maximise results. It includes advice on how to buy consultancy, how to manage the process, guidance for the preparation of briefs for commissioning, and more detailed sections on training, project management, research and other types of consultancy. There are also samples of consultancy briefs, tender specification, contracts, and a checklist for those preparing for a consultancy project. The material is well-presented, and should prove useful to commissioners, managers, and to consultancy agencies themselves.
