    "description": "Please note that this is not a call for competition at this stage. Ethical Commissioning Principles: 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.
