The following fees will apply to all new and existing packages of care with contracted providers under
the following contracts, from Monday 3 April 2023 (or from date of contract award, whichever is the

For the avoidance of doubt, existing packages of care (commissioned under 2018 care home, supported
living or home support sensory loss contracts) will not be uplifted to the fees set out below until the
care provider has been awarded a 2023 care home, supported living or home support sensory loss
contract, which are scheduled to be retendered in January 2023:
