Commissioning

Team Hackney has developed a strategic commissioning framework to ensure that the Local Area Agreement funding ensures the delivery of priority outcomes based on analysis and evidence in an effective and transparent way.  Strategic commissioning is not solely contracting or procurement, although this is an important element of the process, but more importantly, rather than competing for funding, it enables partners to work together to invest in public resources where they can make the most impact.

Hackney’s Local Area Agreement (LAA) was signed off in March 2008.  The LAA is a three-year ‘contract’ which sets out the delivery targets for Team Hackney to March 2011.  Most of this work is happening through existing funding for local services – for example through funding for police, the Homerton Hospital, Hackney schools, and all the Hackney Council services.

However central government recognises that some additional investment is  needed to help get new work off the ground, and provides Team Hackney with some LAA funding to support this. While this is a relatively small amount when considered against all the service budgets of our partners, it will help the partnership to try out new ways of working to address the specific needs of Hackney.

To obtain information on the activities commissioned through Team Hackney please go to the Projects Database (bottom right).  

The Team Hackney Community Grants programme for 2010/ 11 is an investment of £2.67 million as part of the Council’s Hackney Grants Programme in local community projects which meet priorities for the borough as identified in the Local Area Agreement.  

Applications for this year’s grants are now closed but the rigorous grants process will open again in summer 2010 for the 2011/12 grants round.
