Complex Care Uplifts
Valuing Care’s Uplift Service provides a structured framework for reviewing placement costs and applying sustainable uplifts. It enables systems to balance financial control with provider stability through transparent, defensible analysis.
Specialist Support
Valuing Care has a specialist delivery team with extensive experience in collecting, analysing, and reporting on provider care costs. Our managed uplift support includes:
Writing to providers to request detailed costing templates for individual cases
Liaising with providers to respond to queries and provide guidance
Data cleansing and quality assurance of provider returns
Inputting all cases into a dedicated council environment within the Purchaser software
This approach removes pressure from internal teams and ensures all uplift decisions are based on consistent, high-quality data.
Outputs from the Uplift Process
As part of the uplift process, Valuing Care delivers:
Individual price checks for every case, showing where fees are above or below model rates, ensuring all cases remain current and relevant
A consolidated uplift dataset, with clear recommendations aligned to available budgets
Expert financial commissioning support, providing advice and guidance throughout the uplift process
Ongoing support during provider correspondence and challenge, helping commissioners respond confidently and consistently
Uplift service powered by purchaser
Valuing Care provides a fully managed uplift service that puts Councils back in control of the fee-setting process. We support authorities to manage provider fee increases fairly, consistently, and transparently, while maintaining market stability and affordability.
Why choose our uplift service
Our Uplift Service is powered by Purchaser, Valuing Care’s specialist cost-modelling software. Together, they provide a single, controlled system for managing care package costs and uplift decisions — giving commissioners clarity, confidence, and control.
