Theme: Outcomes-based contracting

Seminar rooms

The integration of the user voice in outcomes-based contracts and beyond

Considering the frequent claims on the financialisation of public services and a perceived lack of the user voice in SIBs, this panel session aims to examine the emerging evidence on the role of the user voice in impact bonds across the UK and in an international context. Four overarching questions will guide our discussion:

  1. How does the SIB design might help to facilitate the integration of the user voice?
  2. At which stage of the programme and in which form shall the user voice be integrated?
  3. How can the user voice be better integrated with other approaches, especially data, in the design of SIBs?
  4. How can we ensure that the user voice affects national and local policy design?
