The Mandate from the Government to NHS England (interesting footnote that
legally this is known as the NHS Commissioning Board) is renewed on an
annual basis - and expected to be delivered on an annual basis.
There is now a Consultation on the Mandate for 2014/15 with a closure date
of 27th September 2013.

Haven't finished reading it - but I think everyone with an interest ought to
participate, if only to introduce some sense of reality to the politicians -
assuming that is that they read it - or any notice is taken of the
Consultation results! ;-<
