Borough of Telford & Wrekin

Purchasing Plan 2006 - 2007

People who use care services, and the government, have made it clear that care services will need to change: Care services of the future will need to reflect the changing needs and high expectations of the people of Telford & Wrekin, whilst delivering increased value for money. Care services of the future must operate within the wider context of local authority and health services, and allow people to exercise choice, power and control.

These changes will challenge traditional views and approaches to procurement of care services. Our care providers, the Council, the Telford & Wrekin Primary Care Trust (T&WPCT), people who use our services, and their families, will need to work in partnership to overcome these challenges and create the right market of care services.


The purchasing plan is part of this work: It sets out what we buy, how we buy it, and from whom. The plan describes why we need to change the way we purchase; it starts to outline the new services to be commissioned, and how these could be secured.
