    Brief

    This opportunity requires comprehensive telephone mystery shopping data across adult social care providers to collect 2026-27 fee rate information from self-funded care homes. The research aims to understand current fee structures for self-funders, analyze year-on-year fee increases, and compare self-funder rates against Local Authority (LA) commissioned rates. This data collection builds on CMA 2017 research which identified that self-funders typically pay approximately 41% more than LA rates. High geographic coverage is essential to ensure robust, representative data. The findings will support policy analysis and fee benchmarking across the adult social care sector.
