South Glos Rate Rises (Apologies)

For providers of Adult Social Care to South Gloucestershire Council

C&SW has just been informed about the 2022/23 fee uplift via the email below ---- please fee free to contact us if you think you will fall into the group of contracted providers referenced in the final sentence of the paragraph from Carol.

South Glos Council is aware in reviewing its rates for 2022/23 that the rates we pay are already often higher than other authorities in reflecting local cost and recruitment pressures.  In recognition of additional increasing costs the Council will  apply an increase of 6% on existing contracts for the majority of providers.  There will be additional further support for some of our lead home care providers to help them recruit and retain staff in a particularly challenging situation.  Further discussions will be held with a small number of very expensive and/ or very newly contracted providers, or where uplifts across several years have been built into specific tenders, to agree any/ appropriate uplifts. 

Kind Regards,

Carol Watson
