Commissioning is a process that public sector organisations use to plan, procure, deliver and evaluate services for local residents

There is now a general trend for public bodies (such as local councils and NHS clinical commissioning groups) to move away from grant-giving to the awarding of contracts through competitive processes.

There has also been a significant trend since the 1980s for public bodies to commission rather than deliver public services in-house themselves. Providers of services can be private-sector companies, charities or social enterprises.
