About the Library

Evidence-led research, structured for decision makers

Each intelligence report follows a consistent, rigorous structure designed to give commissioning teams, provider development leads and sector analysts the information they need — in a format they can act on.

Our reports draw on systematic review of published Market Position Statements, analysis of CQC registration and inspection data, ONS population projections, Skills for Care workforce estimates and direct engagement with providers operating within each authority.

This is independent research, produced to professional research standards. We do not publish until the evidence is complete and the analysis has been verified.

Standardised methodology

Every report follows the same evidence-led structure, enabling meaningful comparison across authorities and the identification of cross-cutting patterns that inform national-level analysis.

How we produce our research
Our Approach

Every Local Authority Intelligence publication begins with extensive research into publicly available evidence, including Market Position Statements, Adult Social Care strategies, CQC assessments, commissioning plans, budget reports and other relevant publications.

Odelia Group then analyses this evidence to identify the strategic themes, market pressures, commissioning priorities and provider opportunities that matter most.

Rather than repeating council documents, our intelligence translates published evidence into practical insight that supports better understanding, stronger provider markets and more informed decision-making.

Who is this for?

Our Local Authority Intelligence is designed for local authorities, care providers, housing organisations, NHS partners, voluntary sector organisations and sector leaders seeking a deeper understanding of adult social care provider markets, commissioning priorities and emerging opportunities.
