Tender: Brighton and Hove Council — Audit and Improvement of Adult Social Care Assessment Flow and Waiting Times

About

Brighton and Hove Council is seeking a supplier to audit and improve adult social care assessment and review processes to reduce significant delays identified by the CQC. Funded through a Department of Health and Social Care grant administered by the Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA) as Partners in Care and Health (PCH), the contractor will undertake a case and practice audit to identify inconsistencies in proportionate approaches, highlight training needs and workflow blockages, consider cultural challenges in practice, review and select appropriate risk-ranking tools (e.g. traffic-light systems) and identify best-practice caseload management approaches used by high-performing councils, then produce a report with recommendations to improve flow, consistency and waiting times. The supplier must familiarise themselves with the special conditions attached to the Purchase Order Terms and Conditions; award and payments are conditional on IDeA finalising and maintaining a Grant Funding Agreement with DHSC and IDeA may vary, suspend or terminate the contract if funding is not available.
