## Description
Shropshire Council commissions and delivers support for adults aged 18 and above across adult social care services.
The Council wishes to strengthen its understanding of current services, demand, practice and cost drivers across adult social care in order to identify opportunities to improve outcomes, secure better value for money, deliver sustainable savings and support transformation.
This PME seeks a provider that can work in partnership with the Council to review current transformation activity, validate priorities and identify further opportunities to improve services, reduce costs and deliver sustainable savings across adult social care. A priority area of focus within this broader review will be working age adults and complex care.
The appointed provider will be expected to undertake a robust, evidence-led review using case sampling, quantitative and qualitative data analysis, and stakeholder insight to assess the Council’s current position, provide independent challenge and validation as a constructive critical friend, and test the assumptions underpinning existing transformation plans and savings proposals. The work must review, validate, challenge and prioritise current work programmes, focusing effort on the areas of greatest spend and highest opportunity for service improvement and savings, and culminate in a clear, deliverable three-year transformation plan supported by expected benefits realisation and a detailed activity delivery plan.
