The New Provider Selection Regime – 10 months on

As some will remember, late last year The Alternative Provider Collaborative and The GM VCSE Leadership Group co-hosted an information session on the new Provider Selection Regime which came into effect on 1st January 2024.

Organisations, referred to as ‘relevant authorities’ (NHSE, ICBs, NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts and Local and Combined authorities) under the PSR, are required to follow the PSR when arranging health care services, irrespective of whether the providers they are considering are from the NHS, the independent, or the social business sector.
