Partnerships and Commissioning Policy 2024 – 2025
- It is a North Yorkshire Council (NYC) requirement that all work undertaken on behalf of the Council complies with statutory duties and the Council’s own health and safety principles and standards. It is therefore essential to ensure that all contractors undertake work in compliance with NYC SMS requirements and relevant health and safety legislation and that Contractors are appropriately managed and monitored (where necessary) by NYC.
- All contractors are assessed for competence before a contract is awarded and the work commences.
- All commissioning will follow a six-step pattern:
Identify Need ⇒ Identify & Agree Solutions ⇒ Plan and Develop
Schedule Project ⇒ Delivery ⇒ Assess and Evaluate
- Clear partnership agreements will be drawn up and signed between all parties involved.
- The commissioning of partners to undertake work will first be agreed by the HLO to ensure budget integrity is maintained.
- YMH have clear partnership agreements drawn up for all York based organisations
