This report seeks authority to implement a number of measures to secure reliable and good quality home care provision for the people of Sheffield – including targeted procurement activity, contract extensions, fee negotiations, and potentially some pilot schemes.
The backdrop of constantly changing conditions in the home care market means that this report seeks delegated authority to employ and vary the stabilising measures used – providing these remain within agreed financial and strategic parameters.
