• Increasing demand for services; and
• Drive for personalisation from:–Central government policy
and–Consumer expectation
Demand
Birth of Breeze-e – context:
• Personalisation complex to implement; • Imperfect market:
– Market under-developed and immature.– Market cherry picking, eg equity release schemes.– Vested interests - maintenance of outdated/redundant
business models, eg block contracts.– Concerns about consistency quality and performance.– Areas of potential lack of supply– Lack of good information about the market
Supply
Birth of Breeze-e – context:
Care Act requirements
• Particular focus on carers and self funders
• Cap on care costs and care account
• Assessment and eligibility requirements • Market shaping role
– Costly for all parties.– Inherently adversarial – Cultural misalignment – private sector profit vs social benefits.– Tend to mitigate against risk taking.– Relies upon “client” being able to specify.– Inflexible – not good at responding to changing needs.– Can encourage wrong behaviours – target driven, claims driven.– Problems of retendering – drop off in service quality & performance as contract come to
an end.– Little space for enterprise, innovation ( change often expected on contractor side but
not on client side)– Artificial OJEU procurement thresholds.– Traditional procurement against a background of declining public sector resources –
tends to encourage the market to move towards large “one-size-fits-all” monolithic inflexible shared service centres – which then needs to be “fed”.

MUTUAL VALUES
What’s missing?
• Prepaid card pilot 2011/12 encountered problems and issues• Other authorities had some success with prepaid cards
in pushing forward personalisation• Encountered resistance from some staff and service
users plus process issues• And where to spend it?• What was missing was a marketplace• And what about self funders who have similar/identical
needs?• Went back to basics and looked at the market• ALL residents/ALL services
