These risks are not within the Authority's direct control and cannot be fully quantified at the time of procurement.

Demand Volatility & Case Mix Uncertainty - The Authority anticipates fluctuations in demand, visit duration, complexity of care needs, and geographic distribution during the Contract term. Historic data is indicative only and does not represent a guaranteed baseline. Workforce Availability & Market Stability - The Authority recognises ongoing uncertainty within the domiciliary care labour market, including workforce availability, retention levels, and provider sustainability. These factors may affect delivery models over time. Pay, Employment & Employment Law Change - Changes to real living wage rates, employment law, or sector-specific workforce requirements may occur during the Contract term. The Authority cannot confirm the nature, timing, or financial impact of any such changes at this stage. Regulatory & Inspection Regime Change (CQC) - Regulatory and inspection requirements for care at home services may evolve, including changes to inspection frequency, assessment frameworks, or reporting expectations. Health & Social Care System Integration - The Authority anticipates increased integration with health partners over the Contract term; however, the scope, pace, and technical requirements of such integration cannot currently be fully defined. Technology, Digital Care & Data Sharing - The Authority cannot confirm future digital, data-sharing, or assistive technology requirements at this time but anticipates that these may develop during the Contract term. Service Model & Policy Reform - National or local policy reform may alter eligibility criteria, charging arrangements, or service delivery models during the Contract term. Service User Needs & Expectations - Service user and carer expectations may change over time, including expectations relating to personalisation, continuity, and cultural appropriateness of care" }, "language": "en" }
