The local market for children's, adults, public health and housing services

We work with many providers, organisations and also service users and carers to deliver quality services which improve the lives of children and adults in County Durham.

Market Position Statement

To help providers shape their business plans and support our vision for the future of children's and adult social care, public health and housing, we publish a document called the Icon for pdf Market Position Statement 2019/21 (PDF, 7.0mb) or MPS.

The document brings together key information about our priorities and helps providers to:

develop their services to meet local need and demand
identify opportunities that they may bid for.

The MPS will be updated to reflect any new policy or financial changes introduced by us or the government and the 'Planned Procurements' section will be reviewed approx. every three months and the updated version added to this page.
