The NHS Milton Keynes Commissioning, Disinvestment and Contracting Manual describes the pipeline through which a request for a change in commissioning / disinvestment is progressed, from identifying the need through to review (in the light of best evidence, and with clinical, public and patient engagement) through to definition or redesign, specification, procurement and contract monitoring.

Commissioned by Dr.Nicholas Hicks, Chief Executive / Director of Public Health NHS Milton Keynes, the manual is a practical tool that sets out a robust and systematic methodology for commissioning. You can print out a copy of the overarching document here.
