While it's still early days (we're not yet thro a full contracting round under the new rules), the small no. of referrals to the Panel in 2024 is a great achievement, and a testament to the work of procurement professionals across the NHS and local govt. (3/3)

Since PSR's intro in Jan 2024, several thousand contracts have been awarded for hospital, community health, mental health and public health services. But, from these thousands of award decisions only 4 disputes were referred to the Independent Patient Choice and Procurement Panel in 2024 (2/3)

Congratulations are in order for procurement professionals across the NHS and local govt. Much hard work has been put in to make a success of the new procurement rules for healthcare services (known as the Provider Selection Regime, or PSR). (1/3)

Very sorry to hear of Christopher Hood's passing. He was a fantastic lecturer on my MSc Regulation at LSE.
Very sorry to hear of the passing of Christopher Hood, formerly Gladstone Chair of Government at All Soul's College, Oxford. I had the privilege of studying with Christopher and he was both extremely kind and intellectually focused as a supervisor in ways that still benefit me two decades later.
Christopher Hood has died today. Public administration has lost one of its absolute best. RIP

Notre Dame in Paris re-opens this wkd.
I'm a cathedral nerd. Here are some things that you might not notice about it – just from that one photo.

1. You can see straight down the nave to the apse. No medieval English cathedral has that.

Cowper’s Cut 348: Truth or Consequences
I know I’ve written this line before, but it remains true that you can always tell when things are getting really bad in the NHS: people start telling the truth.

P G Wodehouse was born 143 years ago today. So many wonderful sentences. Here’s one: “Into the face of the young man who sat on the terrace of the Hotel Magnifique at Cannes there had crept a look of furtive shame, the shifty hangdog look which announces that an Englishman is about to speak French.”

Another great legal starter pack with some folk I’d not found on here.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen any new starter packs for this place, so I’ve tried to come up with a mainly legal one which simply includes many of the people I used to interact with on Twitter & whose posts I enjoyed reading.
I hope anyone I’ve overlooked will excuse me.

It's been a quiet start for the Independent Patient Choice and Procurement Panel since setting up in January. We estimate there to have been around 1,000 contracts awarded under the new NHS procurement rules, and only 3 cases have made it to the Panel.
