CareCubed across the UK

Last year was one of growth, impact, and innovation for iESE CIC and the CareCubed team. We expanded our product and professional teams, bringing in new intelligence, skills and diverse experience and we made significant investments in CareCubed itself by redesigning and modernising the platform. This reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and to delivering real value to the public sector. It also strengthens our ability to deliver costeffective, best-in-class solutions.

Our growing CareCubed customer base means more care decisions are now evidence-based and focused on Care, Quality, and Cost. CareCubed combines independent research, real-world benchmarking, and service-specific data to provide an accurate, transparent view of care costs, empowering commissioners to negotiate effectively and plan strategically.

Looking ahead, the public sector faces further financial pressures, policy shifts, and the biggest structural changes to local government in a generation. iESE CIC is here to support through these challenges and will continue to innovate and provide solutions which drive meaningful change.

The March updates of CareCubed for Adults & Children incorporate the latest economic factors, including rising employer National Insurance Contributions and inflation trends. These shifts have driven a higher-than-usual increase in care costs, making structured cost analysis more essential than ever.

As we move into a new financial year, we are excited to keep building momentum. We will be launching new products and will continue to deliver insights and intelligence to help improve local public services.
