Budget constraints, demographic changes and changes to how services are likely to be commissioned and delivered in the future requires detailed analysis of current arrangements, likely future demand and market dynamics so as to assist Care Commissioners in making informed decisions as to how the services could best be deployed and shaped for the future.
Our approach is to arrive at a series of options having undertaken a number of discrete tasks:
1) How your council currently spends its money – spend analysis
2) Future demand and finances – based on, amongst other things, changing demographics, the likely impact of personalisation and re-ablement on budgets, Government policy and analysis of supply and demand side dynamics
3) Market Analysis – understanding local and regional provision, cost structures, benchmarking and comparators, capability and market economics
4) Procurement – how should we tender and buy services going forward, how can services be made more responsive and available to the needs of personal budget holders and brokers/commissioners? What impact will this have on corporate processes
5)Final Report of Recommendations – drawing the analysis together with an options appraisal.
We are currently working with a large NW Unitary and have recently completed a similar piece of work with a Yorkshire Unitary and have undertaken aspects of the analysis, specifically for Care Home provision for a Greater Manchester Council
