Partners in Care and Health Working Age Adults data and benchmarking project

Partners in Care and Health learning disability and autistic people team are seeking a provider that can demonstrate experience of working with the adult social care sector or similar sectors on robust data analysis and benchmarking in order to produce a data tool that the learning disability and autistic people team of PCH can use with council adult social care council senior staff to interrogate the value for money of their offer for working age adults using data that is publicly available. This will most likely be an excel tool and will be used internally by the PCH team.

The tool must draw in data on all upper tier councils delivering adult social care services.

The tool must update automatically as later years data is published by central government so that it stays current
