## Summary

The Moray Council is initiating a procurement process for a "Care Calculator/Fair Pricing Tool" to enhance the cost-effectiveness of services for individuals with learning disabilities in residential care and supported living settings in Elgin, Moray. This procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a key deadline for interested parties to register their interest set for 9th March 2018 at noon. The buying organisation aims to establish a transparent cost model and facilitate dialogue between service providers and commissioners about fair pricing based on assessed needs. Future notices related to this procurement are expected by 30th March 2018.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in information technology solutions, particularly those with experience in developing cost transparency tools for health and social care. Companies offering software solutions that can demonstrate effective cost modelling, support evidence-based discussions, and ensure compliance with the needs of service users would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The focus on creating a fair and equitable pricing tool highlights the need for innovative IT solutions that align with the client’s strategic objectives in the care sector.
