Evaluation and decommissioning wiki
Good practice after your public service delivery contract has ended.
Ideally, a good service will have changed the needs you are dealing with - although other factors also hugely influence the needs public services address. Evaluation then of how the service has impacted is essential to beginning the process of needs analysis again. And commissioners must work through any necessary process of decommissioning services (ending services) which are no longer needed or most effective.
In this way, commissioning is a cyclical process, looping round and round, always checking and changing services and resources and the market to meet new and changing needs.
