        "description": "Cheshire East Council is currently reviewing the model for its Care at Home services, ahead of a recommissioning of the service. This will potentially involve moving away from the traditional borough-wide framework approach to a Neighbourhood Model. Under this new model, providers would operate within defined geographical areas of the borough, working collaboratively with residents, the Council, and partner organisations. The aim is to deliver outcomes-focused, strengths-based care that reflects the unique needs and demographics of each local community. The number of providers operating within each neighbourhood will be determined by local demand and population need. Overall, the model would focus on a smaller number of providers than currently are on the framework, with a stronger emphasis on: * Provider stability * Continuity of care * Building sustainable local partnerships To support the successful design and implementation of this model, Commissioners are seeking to understand: * Where current providers are operating across Cheshire East * Future intentions for geographic delivery (subject to procurement outcomes) * Interest from new or out-of-area providers in establishing services within the borough We would greatly appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey. Your responses will help us to: * Understand current service provision across the borough * Identify providers' future geographic intentions * Explore capacity, growth plans, and potential constraints * Inform the development of a sustainable neighbourhood-based commissioning model",

To ensure the success of intended transformational work, the Council must be confident that the market is resilient enough to adapt to and implement such significant changes. Feedback from providers across Cheshire East indicates that additional time is needed to effectively implement a new care model. Maintaining continuity of essential care services is critical for our residents, and the Council has a responsibility to support the current market while preparing it for future contractual arrangements. It is this responsibility, alongside our commitment to the wellbeing of residents, that has informed the decision to amend the length of this contract with a view to implement the wider transformational model when this contract ends."

The tender publish date for the full transformational framework has been pushed back to April 2028 to provide CEC with critical time to plan and implement this transformational approach, ensuring that future mobilisation of the Neighbourhood Model can be undertaken in a managed way that allows providers sufficient time to prepare for, and adapt to, the new service model. Previous pipeline notices informed the market of the Councils intention to merge the Extra Care Support Service with the Care at Home Service, however this is now under review to ensure that any model going forward meets the needs of the borough and supports a stable market place."
