Consultation on new Neighbourhood Provider contracts
NHS England is consulting on two proposed contracting models, a Single Neighbourhood Provider (SNP) contract and a Multi-Neighbourhood Provider (MNP) contract, to support the delivery of integrated neighbourhood health services. The aim is to make it easier for Integrated Care Boards to commission services around defined local populations, bringing together primary care, community services and other providers to improve coordination and outcomes.
NHS England is seeking feedback on the potential benefits, risks and practical implications of the models before developing more detailed proposals later this year.
The consultation is open until 10 September 2026.
