The issue
Commissioners wanted to demonstrate the outcomes they are getting across current and new services – particularly in their Sure Start and parenting programmes.
CPI solution
To date CPI has delivered bespoke commission training to over 100 commissioners and providers; and we have written a performance management toolkit for providers and a commissioning guidebook for ‘commissioners’ in local setting. We have also helped the Trust commission parenting and early programmes using an outcome-based framework.
We are currently supporting commissioners to develop an e-based performance management system incorporating outcome measures and client milestone indictors – the first of its kind in England
Outcomes achieved
Wigan are now reporting an improvement in client outcomes and a more responsive providers who are able to demonstrate the real change that they know they have been delivering for the local community.

Could this work elsewhere?
We have done similar work with Bristol Children and Young People People’s service.
