Notice Information

Notice Title

Acute Tariff Retainer, Training and Cost

Notice Description

The NHS acute contract and payment rules are a highly specialised, complex and ever evolving area. It is a service area which the CSU provides to CCGs and NHS England Commissioning Hubs via various service lines, most significantly through the Information Service. AGEM would like to commission an on-demand expert advice and guidance service, where complex technical queries about the NHS contracting and payment rules from anyone in the CSU can be emailed to a central point, with comprehensive answers linked to the official documentation. In addition, AGEM requires an online training portal for all CSU staff to develop their knowledge of the National Tariff Payment System, which includes a National Tariff course and qualification, accredited by the NHS Financial Services Development Network. This should be updated each year in line with the release of new national guidance. As an optional additional element, AGEM is also looking for a service in supporting internal staff in benchmarking and modelling costs relating to acute contracts. We are an NHS organisation with around 150 Business Intelligence and Contracting staff, of which approximately 75 work in the area of National Tariff for acute NHS commissioning.
