    Brief

    Bracknell Forest Council is seeking a qualified provider to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of Forestcare, an adult social care service supporting over 3,200 vulnerable adults. The successful bidder will partner with the Council to review and assess the current Forestcare operations to identify improvement opportunities and ensure long-term sustainability. Forestcare provides critical monitoring, response, and out-of-hours services that act as front-door demand management for Adult Social Care, Urgent Care, ambulance services, and hospitals. While the service demonstrates strong value for money in prevention, it currently faces a projected deficit of approximately £70,000 in 2026/2027 due to resource-intensive operations and significant unutilized capacity. The evaluation should focus on fundamental service redesign rather than incremental improvements, examining staffing models, service delivery options, funding mechanisms, and opportunities to leverage technology for greater efficiency and sustainability. The provider must help the Council understand how to maintain Forestcare's strengths while addressing structural inefficiencies and financial pressures. Bidders should submit a detailed quotation based on the attached specification.
