description
Peterborough City Council is inviting potential providers to attend a market engagement event to help shape the future of independent voice and engagement for Adult Social Care in Peterborough.
We want to hear from organisations with experience of listening to people, engaging communities, gathering insight, and ensuring that residents' voices influence how services are designed and improved. Your feedback will help us test our proposed approach and understand how the market could support a future service from April 2027 Current Context
Healthwatch Cambridgeshire and Peterborough to deliver the statutory local Healthwatch function in line with the Health and Social Care Act. Under this arrangement Healthwatch Cambridgeshire and Peterborough act as an independent champion for residents when it comes to health and social care services. They ensure local people's voices are heard and used to improve care across our communities.
This contract expires in April 2027.
Should it become law, the NHS Modernisation Bill will remove PCC's statutory duty to establish a local Healthwatch covering health and care services. Instead local authorities will have a broader duty in relation coproduction of social care services.
