Adult Social Care Commissioning Strategy 2024-2027

The adult social care commissioning strategy forms part of a local community approach, with families, friends, carers, partner organisations and voluntary groups all making important contributions towards delivering our vision to help adults live independently, maximising their strengths and supporting wellbeing. The Council’s strategy aims to complement and align with the support provided by others, as a system-wide approach to providing adult social care.

Taking into account the Care Act 2014 prevention and enablement agenda, the aims of the Derby City Council Plan and ‘Your Life Your Choice’ Adult Social Care Strategy, our Market Sustainability Plan, and our Market Position Statement and Sufficiency Strategy 2024, this document outlines our ambitions and commitments to commissioning local care services that are vibrant, responsive and sustainable.

Market Position Statement and Sufficiency Strategy 2024

In Derby, as in the rest of the country, Adult Social Care is delivered to provide our customers with greater choice and control in the support that they receive. This means a more personalised approach which enables customers to have a greater say in what support is provided and how it is provided.

As well as in national directories, we actively promote local services through the Council’s Adult Social Care – My Care Directory, which helps our customers to find organisations that can support them.

In July 2024 we published our updated Market Position Statement and Sufficiency Strategy 2024, which is an important part of our relationship with the adult social care market.

The Market Position Statement is designed to be a document containing intelligence, information and analysis intended to be of benefit to adult social care providers in Derby.It aims to describe current and potential future demand and supply. It identifies opportunities for market development and forthcoming changes. It is also the start of a dialogue between us and the provider market.

The document has some of the information providers need to:

grow your business: It can help you to make decisions about which services to invest in for the future.
identify gaps in the market: At a time of great change, it can help with innovation.
react to new business opportunities: It can help you to find out about customer demand.
work with the Council and partners: It can support a co-productive approach to the delivery of care and support.
