Testimonials

We’ve never had anything as transparent, equitable, and user friendly as CareCubed.

Victoria Bayley
Lead Commissioner, Specialist Commissioning Team, Wiltshire Council

We can now capture the specific mental health needs and recovery goals which has saved us lots of time and allows us to very quickly collect clear, person-centred information which can be easily updated. We can now input risks around self-harm, for example, and other things that are a lot more applicable to our service can just be selected from a dropdown menu.

Anna Rivellio
Project Manager, Together for Mental Wellbeing

As a provider we need to manage our risks so that we can continue to provide high quality services to all service users. When you are working with a commissioning team you have never worked with before CareCubed gives confidence in the fee being proposed, the rationale and context – that the fee has been accurately considered and is based on accurate, up-to-date data.

Richard Broad
Operations & Development Manager, Together for Mental Wellbeing

It allows us to demonstrate and evidence that we are focused on delivering outcomes for the individual and offering person-centred recovery services at a fair price.

Richard Broad
Operations & Development Manager, Together for Mental Wellbeing

CareCubed’s benchmark figures allow us to identify outliers on overhead costs and
take action to achieve efficiency saving at a service or unit level.

Michael Foley
Funding and Assessment Manager, The Disabilities Trust

CareCubed’s clear and visually appealing outputs have helped take the heat out of negotiation. CareCubed reduces uncertainty for us as a provider, and promotes greater collaborative working with commissioners and shared accountability for changes.

Lynsey Robertson
Director of Business Development and Programme Management, The Disabilities Trust

The iESE negotiation training was one of the better trainings we have had as a team. It was so good we decided to embed it in our training offer for our Children’s Service Training Academy. I put it into practice with a provider and the tools and tactics straight away paid off as we were able to have a positive conversation as to how they were costing up aspects of their provision.

James Atkins
Commissioning Manager (Corporate Parenting), Surrey County Council

CareCubed is a strong evidence-based tool which allows you to have an open dialog with care providers. For both councils and providers to remain sustainable we need to address the issues head on, and the work we are doing now will mean our residents can access the best possible care in the future.

Nicollette Browne
Contract and Commissioning Manager, Surrey County Council

CareCubed gives us a lot control around costs and commissioning processes, whilst also allowing us to model changes to the market and provision in Surrey. Without a nationally recognised benchmarking tool it was very difficult to know exactly what we were paying for and whether we were being charged a fair price. As a commissioning authority, we have a duty to get value from the public purse whilst also recognising our providers are businesses who need to turn a profit. CareCubed is an invaluable tool to support an open, constructive conversation with our partners.

Jeremy Taylor
Head of Contracts & Commissioning, Support Services and Brokerage, Surrey County Council
