Decentralization is often pursued as a means to empower local authorities and improve service delivery by tailoring services to the specific needs of communities. However, it can also present challenges in service provision, particularly when local governments face inefficiencies in procurement strategies, complex regulatory frameworks, and limited resources. These challenges can undermine the ability of local authorities to deliver services consistently.

This session will explore different commissioning strategies and highlight successful procurement practices that have helped strengthen the consistency and efficiency of social services at the local level. It will discuss how countries assess which services to outsource and how they ensure that quality is maintained throughout the outsourcing process. Experiences from Slovakia and Finland will be shared, offering valuable insights into how outsourcing can contribute to more sustainable and efficient provision of social services.
