E3M – New opportunities for partnerships Some important lessons from earliest SIBs in the market • 100% payment by results contracts are very high risk for investors and providers to deal with.... and could be counter productive for a number of reasons • Encourages investment in only those clients who will deliver positive paid outcomes, and • High risk for investors = high financial return requirements = high bids for successful outcomes • There is a limited (but growing) pool of potential investors for SIBs at the moment • £2 - £3m financing is a large deal and syndication of investment is common • Some useful learning in how to run a PBR tendering process - this is important to encourage adviser and investor engagement • Different investors have different views on how to manage these investments • Importance of risk sharing by the provider (and commissioner) • Some positive lessons as well.... flexibility, clarity as to tender and scoring process, ability to listen to bidders and investors, consultation period, Q&A 5

E3M – New opportunities for partnerships Getting something “off the ground” • Commissioner or provider - Identify a social problem area where there is a clear indication of both cashable and long term savings (e.g. children in care, residential mental health care, homelessness etc) • Activating the project– create working group, hire advisers, access BLF development funding etc • Feasibility study - identify both immediate (cashable) and long term cost of status quo, calculate what can be paid for successful outcomes? • Is an evidence based solution at hand or is there a need for innovation? • Evaluate procurement requirements and plan the process • Consider investor appetite and engagement • Start with something of modest scale or go big? 9
