It is the responsibility of individual commissioners to commission services and agree contracts most suitable for their local context. Contracts between commissioners and providers must comply with the NHS Payment Scheme, a set of prices and rules used to deliver the most efficient, cost-effective care to patients. These unit prices are consistent across independent providers and National Health Service providers.
