Next Generation Contracting 2.0

Fiscal Policy Studies Institute

An Approach to Flexible Funding and Integrated, Outcome-Based Contracting

KEY FEATURES:1. Allows fine tuning of the balance between control and fund flexibility.

Draft 2 June 2011

2. Provides the benefits of "traditional" fund pools for mainstream funding, without the loss of fund identity, and with less accounting and administrative complexity. 3. Promotes partnership/alliance working on both population quality of life and service system performance improvement. Defines funder/contractor partnership for maximizing customer outcomes.4. Makes use of simplified reporting on contract performance using RBA formats and the three RBA measurement categories: How much did we do? How well did we do it? and Is anyone better off? 5. Establishes 3 year rolling contracting (with safeguards) that prevents annual destabilization of service providers.6. Institutionalizes contractor continuous improvement processes.7. Provides funding for contractor management infrastructure.
