Torbay Council has successfully concluded the procurement for a consultancy service entitled "Adult Social Care Transformation Delivery Partner 2026," classified under business and management consultancy services. This procurement process, identified as a selective or restricted procedure, focussed on transforming Adult Social Care (ASC) services in Torbay, targeting substantial and sustainable savings in the sector. The procurement falls within the industry category of services with a specific location in the UK, region UKK42.

### Procurement Information

Torbay Council had engaged a supplier to undertake preliminary work in relation to this transformation programme via a framework call-off. The call-off permitted the Council to award stage 2 of the work (delivery of the transformation programme) to the original supplier under the terms of that procurement. The pricing model proposed by the supplier for the 2nd stage resulted in price significantly in excess of the Council's budget and the Council was unable to continue through the work under the call-off contract. Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust), who have devolved responsibility for the delivery of Adult Social Care in Torbay, had engaged a different external consultant to carry out some organisational transformation work, directly linked to the planned change programme. The Council has a finite budget for the delivery of the transformation programme and a pressing economic imperative to deliver significant and sustainable savings within the provision of adult social care. It is of paramount importance that the budget is used to deliver the necessary change and not in revisiting prior diagnostic / research activity. Increasing pressure on the adult social care system and budgets mean that change needs to happen at considerable pace. The 2 suppliers engaged by the Council and the Trust have the experience, capacity and capability to deliver the programme at pace, within tight timescales and have significant understanding of the current position in Torbay and the challenges this places on the adult social care system. Given this prior knowledge and experience it was the Council's view that to ensure delivery at pace one of these 2 organisations was best placed to undertake delivery of the change programme. Appointing a supplier already working in Torbay will minimise the amount of time it will take to get the programme up and running, will not require up front time to be invested in additional research to ensure the suppliers full understanding of the challenges and areas where change is require, ensuring the budget for this work is maximised in relation to direct delivery.
