Signposting to commissioning resources

This guide is for Clinks members who want to do any or all of the following:

• Find out more about commissioning
• Understand the difference between commissioning and procurement
• Prepare themselves to be ready for tendering
• Read case studies and learn from others' experiences.

Twenty one documents or websites have been reviewed, and a brief description given of each one. These are presented in five main sections:

• General guides to commissioning (i.e. not specifically criminal justice-related)
• Commissioning within criminal justice
• Checklists and toolkits
• Technical guidance and support
• Research, opinion and think pieces.
