About

Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is seeking a supplier for support funded by a £321,000 Negotiation Support Fund to help the Adult Social Care (ASC) sector prepare for Fair Pay Agreement negotiations. The fund is intended to support improvements to pay, terms and conditions and other employment matters for the ASC workforce by preparing the sector ahead of negotiations expected to start in April 2027, under the legislative framework of the Employment Rights Act 2025, and to mitigate delivery and handling risks associated with this government priority for ASC.
