It is, therefore, important to understand your negotiating position as fully as possible when entering into a dialogue with a local authority or health body. The following may seem obvious points, but it is worth thinking them through:
The traditional dialogue between providers and commissioners in this sector is however increasingly breaking down, and in order to set out your concerns more formally and remind local authorities of the legal duties they are under, we have prepared a template letter for providers to adapt.

The letter is available at the cost of £750 plus VAT and contains detailed drafting notes to enable providers to adapt for individual purposes.
If you would like more information on this or require legal advice on any other contract and commissioning matters, please do not hesitate to contact Matt Wort.
