    Brief

    Durham County Council seeks provision of Valuing Care's cloud-based Purchaser software platform and specialist analytical support services to manage and optimize children's residential placements. The scope of work includes: a comprehensive cost of care review covering approximately 160 cases, individual price checks for current placements, production of a consolidated market report analyzing placement costs and market trends, and support for identifying and implementing new placements. This is a direct call-off from the G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement (RM1557.14), providing access to established pricing and proven service delivery. The service enables the council to enhance transparency of residential placement costs, benchmark pricing against market rates, and make data-driven decisions to improve value for money in children's social care commissioning.
