    "description": "Commissioners would like to know how this service could be delivered, taking into account the 8 ethical commissioning principles below and taking into account the new safer staffing legislation. Person-centred care first: Planning and reviews are opportunities for good conversations where people set goals and reflect on progress towards their own outcomes. Full involvement of people with lived experiences: People are at the heart of setting and reviewing outcomes. Human rights approach: Identified outcomes go beyond basic needs, towards self-actualisation. High quality care: Effectiveness is measured by achievement of outcomes and learning, not adherence to process. Fair working practices: Workers learn about what works. Evidence of impact helps them feel well regarded, rewarded and supported. Financial transparency and commercial viability: Service sustainability is supported by fostering innovation, identifying learning and spreading good practice. Shared accountability: Mutual accountability for outcomes is supported within inhouse and outsourced services by proportionate monitoring arrangements and information sharing. Climate and circular economy: Measuring outcomes shows a positive impact on people, communities and the environment. Further information on ethical commissioning can be found here: Commissioning of services - A National Care Service for Scotland: consultation - gov.scot (www.gov.scot) NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Public Contracts Scotland Web Site at https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=755136.
