Bringing CSS back in-house - VfM assessment process

Commissioning Support Services : Advice on value for money assessment of “significant changes” from outsourced to in-house provision
NHS England, 6 February 2014
  • NHS England’s commissioning support market development team has engaged with CCGs and other stakeholders to develop a business case process for CGGs to use when assessing proposals for bringing a significant proportion of their commissioning support services back in-house from their CSU. 
  • A letter to CCGs sets out in more detail the process to be followed, and a template and guidance have been provided to help CCGs develop a robust business case to demonstrate value for money.
