The Dudley team managing this contract consists of staff representing the disciplines of commissioning, procurement, contracting, finance and analytics. The team has sought appropriate external expert advice in relation to public health, law, governance, procurement and finance.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, the team is part of the intensive support programme provided by NHS England which was set up to support the commissioning of new care models and to design the new standard National Health Service contract for this purpose. This is a long-term contract designed to bring services together into one population-based arrangement that will focus on delivering long-term outcome improvements for the population that are sustainable. Dudley is using this new national contract.<\/p>
<\/p>
The capacity and capability of the team was tested during Checkpoint 1 of the NHS England/NHS Improvement Integrated Support and Assurance Process (ISAP) and green rated. The ISAP was established specifically to deal with complex and novel procurements of this nature. Their actions will be further tested at Checkpoints 2 and 3 of the ISAP in order to ensure that the process they have gone through is sound and that a sustainable contract is established.<\/p>
<\/p>
Dudley Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has made no specific estimate of the costs of changes resulting from the establishment of the new Multispecialty Community Provider. However Dudley CCG currently holds in excess of 170 contracts. This number will be reduced substantially with a consequential reduction in the associated transaction costs.<\/p>
<\/p>
As part of the commissioning process, we would expect commissioners (and providers where appropriate) to have forecast the Whole Population Budget (WPB) value for the duration of the contract. These forecast values should take account of expected future cost and activity pressures, for example anticipated changes in population size, demographics as well as inflation in health and care provision costs (as reflected in national planning assumptions). NHS England will be publishing documentation to support commissioners in forecasting WPB values for the duration of the contract. Dudley CCG has conducted its own financial modelling.<\/p>
<\/p>
Commissioners then need to assure themselves that these plans are balanced, affordable within commissioner allocation constraints, and result in a WPB that reinforces the sustainability of the wider local health and care system.<\/p>
<\/p>
The method used to develop budget projections should be transparently recorded, recognising that this information may need to be shared for future procurement activities and contract documentation.<\/p>"}

At Budget 2015 the government cancelled the fuel duty increase that was planned for 1 September 2015, thereby freezing fuel duty until the end of 2015-16. Like all taxes, fuel duties are kept under review in the context of the wider public finances, with tax policy changes announced at fiscal events.<\/p>
