Scope
Description
The Royal Borough of Greenwich will be hosting a Homecare exploration event via MS TEAMS on 2nd of March 2026 at 10:30 am.
This online event has been designed to provide an open and constructive space for Local Authority Commissioners and Homecare providers to come together to discuss the current challenges facing the Homecare sector, explore the future direction of services, and consider how providers may need to adapt as the Homecare landscape continues to change.
Commissioners are keen to engage with providers about the pressures and opportunities within Homecare, including rising demand, workforce challenges, increasing complexity of need, and the growing emphasis on prevention, independence, and community-based support. The session will focus on how evolving Local Authority commissioning intentions may influence the way Homecare services are shaped, delivered, and commissioned in the future.
The event will support early partnership working and market engagement, enabling Commissioners to listen to provider perspectives, ask open and exploratory questions, and begin conversations that will help inform future service design. It is intended as a collaborative discussion rather than a formal consultation, recognising the vital role that providers play in delivering sustainable, high-quality Homecare services.
Please note that:
• The event will not cover Supported Living.
• The event will not discuss future tender opportunities, procurement timelines, service specifications, or contract details.
• Attendance does not indicate or imply any future commissioning decisions.
This session is about shared understanding, transparency, and building constructive relationships with the Homecare market to support longer-term planning and resilience across the sector.
The event is open to all potential providers.
Providers can register for the event by completing the registration form via the link below.
