## Notice

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (ABUHB) is running a series of interactive workshops, these have been developed to bring us all together to co-design the future service model for our local MH/LD and ND services. This will be the first time we have done something like this, but we know it is the best way; we need to bring all parts of the jigsaw together to be able to pool our knowledge and expertise and understanding to create a service model that makes sense to people and focuses on what matters to the people we are trying to support. The co-design group will include commissioners, operational staff, providers and people with lived or living experience and we will work together over 4 sessions, using creative and interactive methods to agree what would work best and how this should be delivered. We would like to invite suppliers who may be interested in joining these first workshop and perhaps know more about Alliancing. Dates are; 10/12/24 at 12:30PM until 2:30PM ; 14/01/25 at 12:00PM until 2:00PM ; 04/02/25 at 12:00PM until 2:00PM. Final session 04/03/25 10:00AM until 12:00PM.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

An alliance contract is a contractual arrangement between commissioners and providers agreeing to collaborate to achieve a common goal. These types of contracts have been utilised in the UK and worldwide by commissioners seeking to integrate service delivery and transform service provision. Alliances are a form of intensive partnership. There is a higher level of collaborative decision-making and shared responsibility for all activities than is usually seen in most partnerships. Instead of being a group of organisations who each separately undertake their part, coming together occasionally to review progress and report to each other, an Alliance is a more intensive collaboration where everything from planning, implementation, overall financial responsibility, risk, and day-to-day management is shared The key features and benefits of an Alliance contract include; - Commissioners enter into a single overarching contract with a number of providers - Commissioners are part of the alliance - Objectives are aligned for all parties and everyone signs up to an agreed vision and values against which the contract will be delivered (this is unanimous not "consensus driven") - All parties are jointly responsible for delivering the agreed outcomes - Everybody succeeds or fails together - commissioners and providers share risk and reward - No organisational integration is required, whether by merging existing organisations or setting up new legal entities to deliver the services - Commissioners pool their payment streams into a combined pot of funds, and any cost savings are shared between the parties - Strong relationships are essential and disputes are resolved within the alliance - Innovation is expected and built into the contract - People receive services in a seamless way - without any barriers to having to signpost or have different referral criteria/routes - the system is flexible to meet needs, in the right way, at the right time. Additional information: Dates for the workshops; 10/12/24 at 12:30PM until 2:30PM ; 14/01/25 at 12:00PM until 2:00PM ; 04/02/25 at 12:00PM until 2:00PM. Final session 04/03/25 10:00AM until 12:00PM.
