The Supplier must familiarise themselves with the special conditions attached to the Purchase Order Terms and Conditions for the delivery of the work. Detailed targeted financial analysis and support to Councils facing greatest financial support. The IDeA as Partners in Care and Health (PCH) are working with the Social Care institute for Excellence and other well-respected organisations to support the delivery of sector led improvement for adult social care. PCH helps councils to improve the way they deliver adult social care and public health services and helps Government understand the challenges faced by the sector. The programme is a trusted network for developing and sharing best practice, developing tools and techniques, providing support, and building connections. It is offered to councils without charge. Since 2017, Partners in Care & Health has been providing financial advice to local authorities on adult social care. This work has been led by the National Care & Health Improvement Adviser for finance; however, since 2021 he has been supported by a small group of finance reviewers undertaking bespoke financial reviews focused on adult social care in the corporate context of the local authority. We are looking to refresh our small pool of reviewers who can undertake these reviews. We are seeking interest from relevant individuals with appropriate skills and experiences who would be available to complete short-term strategic reviews of the financial aspects of adult social care in specific local authorities.
