This project will build on the exploratory study “Contracting for Quality” (2010) that the European Centre and the European Social Network (ESN) carried out to analyse the relationships between financers, regulators, planners, case-managers, providers and users of long-term care in Europe. It will address current policy and practice in procuring, commissioning and contracting long-term care services with a view to quality assurance and the choice of providers based on the best price-quality ratio.
