Anthony Collins Solicitors LLP Get directionsSocial care providers are facing increasingly unrealistic and unsustainable fee rates being imposed by public sector commissioners. This may be encountered in the context of tenders, fee-rate freezes (or cuts) in existing contracts or simply as a result of increasing costs making the current rates unviable. This workshop will consider:
- changes to the procurement regime and how providers can use it to their advantage;
- the opportunities and the obstacles created by the Care Act and market shaping;
- scenarios where procurement law challenges and judicial reviews may be an appropriate option;
- tactics for dealing with the National Minimum/Living Wage obligations; and
- ways providers can mitigate employment risk, in particular in relation to TUPE.
This session should be attended by anyone involved in tendering for and/or managing the local authority contracts.
