Adult Social Care Market Position Statement

The Market Position Statement (MPS) bring together information about the local market so that current and prospective providers understand the local context, what is likely to change and where opportunities might arise in the future. Specifically, it will help providers to identify opportunities that they may tender for; and develop their services to meet local need and demand. Providers will need to register their interest via North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO).

The MPS will help providers shape their business plans to support the Council's vision for the future of local public health, social care, and housing markets. It sets out the key pressures for Adult Social Care and our vision for the future. It also sets out the system pressures within the health and social care sector across the Integrated Care System (ICS).

This document has been produced with input from several internal and external stakeholders, including service providers, and sets out the direction of travel for Adult Social Care during 2023 to 2026.
