7. Interdependencies and ensuring a ensuring a seamless pathway http://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/comm-health-child-prog.pdf

8. Challenges Opportunities • Fractured commissioning • Understanding organisational boundaries • Changing the current model of work • Short timeline • Change fatigue • Anxiety for the future • Establish a local vision • Using the Health and Wellbeing Board, JSNA and Health and Wellbeing Strategy to develop an integrated approach to commissioning • Improved pathway development • Increased user engagement

9. Transition of responsibilities for PH of 0-5s to local authorities • The direct commissioning responsibility for public health services for children aged 0-5 (other than the national immunisation and screening programmes) will transfer to local government from 2015. • This offers considerable potential for developing more integrated approaches to commissioning for 0-5s in 2013-14 and 14-15.

14. The requirements of NHS England in terms of assurance that the proposals received will deliver the required outputs and outcomes and value for moneyPresented by Lois Shield FCIPS NHS England Seminar 2- 11.00-11.50 14th November 2013

15. Topics covered: • What a bid will be expected to cover– what are the expectations in terms of meeting the criteria set out in Appendix 4 • Supporting Area Teams who do not meet the criteria • Once the bid has been funded: NHS England procurement rules

16. Successful Proposal Criteria Each bid will be evaluated based on the criteria in this table

17. Successful Proposal Criteria • A "yes“ decision will take due account of NHS England's responsibility to ensure that this funding delivers the required outputs and value for money. • If its a "no" then feedback will be given to the area team to ensure they are clear on our expectations • Bids that have yes as specified in the table will go forward to a reference group for further review and endorsement of decision. • Those not meeting the evaluation criteria will get full written and verbal suggestions for improvement and invited to resubmit their proposal within 2 weeks.

18. NHS England Procurement Rules • Applies to all employees of NHS England and also to the Commissioning Support Units (CSUs) and other Hosted Bodies. • The Public Contracts Regulations 2006 (as amended) (the “Regulations”) divides services into two types, Part A and Part B services. • Examples of Part A services include telecommunication services, financial services, computer and related services, advertising services and property management services. • Examples of Part B services include health and social services, education and vocational health services, legal services and recreational, cultural and supporting services. Clinical services fall under health services and will be categorised as Part B services.

19. NHS England Procurement Rules • When awarding contracts for services, it is important to determine whether the service to be procured is a Part A or Part B service as different obligations under the Regulations will then apply to the procurement process. • Part A services are subject to the Regulations in their entirety while Part B services are only subject to certain limited parts of the Regulations including obligations to treat bidders equally, to act in a transparent way, to act in a non-discriminatory way, the use of technical specifications and the requirement to submit a contract award notice. • All procurement activity is underpinned by the EU Treaty Principles.

20. EU Thresholds The current thresholds are as follows:- • Supplies & Part A Services (except R & D, and certain telecom services) Schedule 1 bodies (including NHS bodies) - £113, 057 • Part B Services & R & D, and certain telecom services and subsidised services (Regulation 34) All bodies - £173, 934 • Determining the contract value – total life or whole life costing approach. Values exclude VAT These thresholds will be updated on 31 December 2013.

21. Above the EU Threshold • For expenditure over the EU threshold the EU Procurement Directives may apply. • There are a number of procurement routes under the Regulations – Open, Restricted, Negotiated and Competitive Dialogue procedures • The procedure to be followed in each case will largely depend on the type of goods and/or services being procured and the complexity of the procurement. • Use of Frameworks should be considered by the ATs for direct placements or further competitions from EU compliantly procured frameworks.

22. Lower Thresholds Should the value of the services being procured fall below the EU threshold above then the following procurement routes should be applied:- Under £50,000 • must obtain three written quotes from potential suppliers. Above £50,000 but below the relevant EU Threshold • must obtain five written tenders from potential suppliers

23. Considerations in Service Procurement • When procuring services, NHS England must also comply with the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012. • This set out requirements for public authorities to comply with prior to the commencement of their procurement processes for services (so before the OJEU notice/tender documents are published). NHS England will need to consider: • how the service that is being procured might improve the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of the local area; • how that improvement might be secured through the procurement process; and • whether to hold a consultation on the potential improvements themselves.

24. Healthcare Services Procurement • When procuring health care services for the purposes of the NHS, NHS England must comply with the National Health Service (Procurement, Patient Choice and Competition) (No.2) Regulations 2013 (the "2013 Regulations"). • The 2013 Regulations provide that when procuring health care services for the purposes of the NHS ("Health Care Contracts") whatever the value, NHS Englandmust act with a view to: • securing the needs of the people who use the services; • improving the quality of the services; and • improving efficiency in the provision of the services.

25. Healthcare Services Procurement • both regulations include wording to ensure that when procuring Health Care Contracts, NHS England must act in a transparent and proportionate way and treat providers equally and not discriminate. • treating providers equally and in a non-discriminatory way, will include not treating one provider, or type of provider, more favourably than any other provider, in particular on the basis of their ownership.

26. Exemptions • It may be possible for the ATs to award a contract for services to another public body without running a procurement process in accordance with the Regulations. This is referred to as the Teckalexemption. • to satisfy the exemption the recipient of the funding would have to ensure that the entity or entities contracting with NHS England carried out the principal part of its activities with NHS England; • is controlled in a similar way to that which NHS England exercises control over its own internal departments; • is funded wholly or mainly by NHS England; and • has no private sector participation or financing
