Our Market Facilitation Plan
The Aberdeenshire Health and Social Care Partnership (AHSCP) has set out its strategic vision and priorities in its Strategic Plan for 2025-2035. This Market Facilitation Planis a key accompanying document to the Strategic Plan. Its aim is to provide clarity as to the AHSCP’s commissioning objectives for the next 3 years, and to guide collaboration with independent and third sector providers, recognising the importance of their role as key partners in delivering high-quality, sustainable services for people within Aberdeenshire.
This plan sits alongside the AHSCP’s Medium-Term Finance Strategy, Strategic Delivery Plan and Workforce Plan, each of which are integral to realising the AHSCP’s strategic priorities and recognise the various sustainability and redesign challenges facing the health and social care system.
Market Facilitation and Commissioning
Market facilitation involves all partners working together to ensure that there is a sufficient and appropriate range of provision to meet the needs of our communities. This Market Facilitation Plan acknowledges the AHSCP’s dual role as both provider and commissioner.
The AHSCP, under the governance of the Aberdeenshire Integration Joint Board (IJB), is responsible for the provision of a wide and complex range of community-based health and social care services. Some of these services are directly managed and delivered in-house by AHSCP teams, whilst others may be commissioned or procured from external providers and organisations, supporting the strategic planning and delivery of health and social care services to best meet the needs of our population
Consultation on the Draft Market Facilitation Plan
Through this consultation we are seeking feedback on our commissioning principles – how we intend to work with the market – and our key commissioning activities and objectives for the next 3 years.
Your input to this short survey below is important to help us shape and inform how we work together. It should take around 5 minutes to complete. The closing date for the survey is 12 noon on Monday 11th May 2026.
