## Summary

Leicestershire County Council is seeking a supplier for a contract titled "Residential Care - Cost of Care Analysis". This procurement falls under the services category within the business and management consultancy industry, specifically targeting the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The tender is currently at the active stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 14th July 2021. The contract is valued at £30,000 and is intended to commence on 2nd August 2021, lasting until 30th April 2022.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with a focus on care market analysis and sustainable pricing models. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be especially well-suited to compete, given the requirement for a detailed understanding of the local market in Leicestershire. The project aims to establish a fair and sustainable fee structure for the local residential care community, creating an avenue for growth and collaboration within the sector.

## Notice

Leicestershire County Council wishes to appoint a supplier to undertake analysis of the cost of care in the local residential care market, prior to the implementation of new fees in April 2022. The cost of care analysis required will be specific to Leicestershire. A 'generic' or national sector pricing model is not considered to be sufficient to achieve a genuine understanding of what constitutes a local sustainable price, specific to the local market. The Council wishes to establish a local sustainable fee structure, i.e. a price that allows the market to deliver care of the required standard, comply with legal requirements and receive a reasonable return so that their business can remain sustainable, and that care remains stable for people using the services.
