The Peterborough City Council Adult Social Care Market Position Statement (MPS) was published in December 2024.

This edition has been refreshed to focus on our key commissioning intentions, the current state of the local adult social care market and the outcomes we are seeking for our residents.

It also builds on our Corporate Strategy which sets out a sustainable future from 2022 – 2025.
