What does the Partnership and Commissioning Team in the OPCC do?
Our team commissions services from a wide range of providers varying from large national organisations to smaller local providers, including organisations from the charity, independent, voluntary and community sectors.

Our team combines problem solving, innovation and resourcefulness with empathy for the rights and wellbeing of the community, working in partnership to try and find creative solutions to complex challenges.
