National Occupational Standards for Commissioning in the Public Sector

9 Dec 2010

Skills for Health with Government Skills, the Standards Setting Organisation for Central Government, has published new National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Commissioning in the Public Sector.

Commissioning is a skill set of growing importance within central government and across the wider public sector. These standards are definitions of competence that can be applied to job roles or occupations.

The standards produced capture the performance, behaviours and knowledge and understanding that an individual must demonstrate to be considered competent to carry out a particular task within a commissioning role. 

The NOS can be accessed via the Skills for Health website by clicking here 
(To access the NOS you must first agree to the licence agreement that will appear on screen)
