It is the prime contractor’s task to ensure that every part of the overall Dermatology programme is delivered in a way that joins up with the other parts of the pathway. This provides the prime contractor/lead provider (with its subcontractors) the ability to construct an overall pathway of care and incentives that provide Tower Hamlets CCG, as the commissioner, with the outcomes that they want whilst remaining within the available budget. ### Commissioning for outcomes and quality not activity based The commissioners, NHS Tower Hamlets CCG, plan to a whole systems approach moving beyond productive/technical efficiency (i.e. maximising the efficiency of any one institution) towards allocative efficiency (i.e. maximising the efficiency of a pathway served by more than one provider). To incentivise this collaboration and consideration of allocative efficiency, the commissioners will align financial incentives for the lead provider into delivery of a single set of outcome measures, shared by all providers within the system of care. Therefore, the commissioner, NHS Tower Hamlets CCG will commission a service that is supported by a block outcomes based contract. This means that the successful bidder will be awarded 70% payment upon award of the contract, with the remainder 30% value upon successful evidence of the expected outcomes measured by the KPI’s defined within the contract. The total value of the contract over 5 years is £1,209,574. This contract baseline is for three years (£755,747- activity and outcome achieved) with two years possible contract extension- amounting to five years total contract life span (£ 1,209,574- activity and outcome achieved).
