The way councils and public sector bodies work with arts and other organisations is changing. Grant funding for projects is being replaced by commissioning and personal budgets. Eventus have produced some online resources for artists and arts organisations on how to understand and work with strategic commissioning:

• Strategic Commissioning: What Arts Organisations & Artists Need To Know
• Market Development and 3rd Sector - Principles and Good Practice
• Strategic Commissioning for Arts Organisations (aimed at policy makers or those interested in consortium development).

You can download the resources here.

There is also presentation that you can watch just to get a quick summary of what it's all about.
