We believe the best commissioning happens when it’s co-produced – planned and delivered together with local partners and communities. We see our role as one of support, not just direction, bringing people together, sharing what works and helping you build on your strengths.
As the NHS continues to evolve, the role of Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and healthcare commissioners has become increasingly complex, balancing local priorities, national policy and the need for high-quality, safe, sustainable services. We understand that commissioning is not just about buying services – it’s about designing care that delivers value, improves outcomes, and supports the long-term sustainability of the NHS. That’s why we work closely with our members to ensure that every commissioning decision is informed, strategic and aligned with both local needs and national priorities.
The Provider Selection Regime is a set of rules for procuring health care services in England. It lays out flexible regulations for commissioning health services for NHS bodies and local authorities, so they can ensure that all decisions are based on collaboration and the best interests of patients.
