Market position statement

Commissioning Plan and Market Position Statement

Our adult social care Market Position Statement (MPS), is outward facing and sets out information for care and support providers, clients and their family or carers, about supply and demand for services, and what this means for current and future supply.

The MPS is an important part of the councils' relationship with the care and support sector, clients, family carers and the wider market. It is a tool to set the overall direction of travel and the outcomes to be achieved. It allows the market and others to develop new, innovative ways of delivering care and support to residents. It also allows existing providers of services to review their provision and sustainability in relation to future needs and requirements.

The MPS should be read alongside the following documents that are also updated annually:

Commissioning intentions – The commissioning intentions will identify key areas of work over the coming year. Generally these will be in line with client groups but may also cover service areas;
Procurement plan – This will identify any procurement requirements that adult social care is undertaking , it will be a rolling plan over the next 3 years that is updated annually.

Market Sustainability Plans

We have developed a series of market sustainability plans covering the following areas:

Each of these give an assessment of the current market and the impact of future market changes. They also identify any plans to address sustainability issues within each of the care sectors and client group areas.

These documents should be read alongside our Commissioning Plan and Market Position Statement, and also our Commissioning Intentions.
