NHS England’s new planning framework published on 24 October 2025, marked a shift from short-term operational cycles to a longer-term, locally led approach to improvement, aligned to the ambitions of the 10-Year Health Plan. It introduces a multi-year funding settlement, a revised operating model, and a focus on local innovation, prevention, digital transformation, and quality of care. 

Integrated Care Boards were required to develop a Five-Year Commissioning plan setting out how local services will be transformed through strategic priorities, improving population health, reducing inequalities, and ensuring long-term financial sustainability. NHS Dorset ICB 5-year plan was submitted to NHS England on 12 February 2026 as per national requirements.

An initial high level overview of Dorset Integrated Care Boards (ICB) Five Year Commissioning Plan was presented to Health and Wellbeing Board members on 12 January 2026.

Feedback received from members was incorporated within the submitted plan. The commissioning plan remains iterative in nature and will evolve to incorporate more specific place-based priorities aligned to the local neighbourhood health plans once they are developed.

This paper sets out the background, rationale, purpose, and scope for developing a Place-Based Partnership (PBP) in Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole (BCP), drawing on local and national context.

Ultimately the paper aims to support the BCP Health & Wellbeing Board in considering the establishment and operation of a BCP Placed Based Partnership, clarifying its distinct role, governance, and relationship to existing structures.
