Birth of Breeze-e – context: Demand • Increasing demand for services; and • Drive for personalisation from: • Central government policy and • Consumer expectation
Birth of Breeze-e – context: Supply • Personalisation complex to implement; • Imperfect market: • Market under-developed and immature. • Market cherry picking, eg equity release schemes. • Vested interests - maintenance of outdated/redundant business models, eg block contracts. • Concerns about consistency quality and performance. • Areas of potential lack of supply • Lack of good information about the market
Care Act requirements • Particular focus on carers and self funders • Cap on care costs and care account • Assessment and eligibility requirements • Market shaping role
Procurement issues • Costly for all parties. • Inherently adversarial • Cultural misalignment – private sector profit vs social benefits. • Tend to mitigate against risk taking. • Relies upon “client” being able to specify. • Inflexible – not good at responding to changing needs. • Can encourage wrong behaviours – target driven, claims driven. • Problems of retendering – drop off in service quality & performance as contract come to an end. • Little space for enterprise, innovation ( change often expected on contractor side but not on client side) • Artificial OJEU procurement thresholds. • Traditional procurement against a background of declining public sector resources – tends to encourage the market to move towards large “one-size-fits-all” monolithic inflexible shared service centres – which then needs to be “fed”.

What we did next.. • Prepaid card pilot 2011/12 encountered problems and issues • Other authorities had some success with prepaid cards in pushing forward personalisation • Encountered resistance from some staff and service users plus process issues • And where to spend it? • What was missing was a marketplace • And what about self funders who have similar/identical needs? • Went back to basics and looked at the market • ALL residents/ALL services
