Market Position Statement 2025 - 2040 Community-Based Services - Market Assessment for CBS

Each Adult Social Care commissioned community-based service and provider market has been assessed on the following criteria by adult social care commissioning leads:

•  Market Quality: The rating is defined by the number of CBS providers with their current CQC ratings and local quality assurance intelligence. Walsall Council aims to use primarily Good or Outstanding providers. The plan is that from 26/27 fee rates will be linked to the quality of provision, with those that are Good or better receiving higher rates than those that have CQC ratings of Requires Improvement or below.
• Market Supply: This rating is defined by current demand with existing capacity within each market.
• Market Workforce: This rating is defined by our current understanding of workforce capacity and pressures within CBS services in Walsall.
