Market Intelligence (MINT)

MINT is Care England’s market intelligence information portal that exhibits a wide range of pertinent fee, financial and general data from across both the older person and learning disability sectors through a simple searchable solution, for the use of care home providers. Data is collated from a wide variety of stakeholders, such as local authorities, NHS Bodies, ICSs, CQC and other public sources of data.

As a data platform, MINT is ever-expanding and constantly evolving, and a consolidation of all data that providers need in their arsenal to correspond with local authorities and the NHS. MINT not only gives access to an incredibly diverse wealth of knowledge but also reduces the significant time and effort providers would spend collating and maintaining this data alone.

As the findings of the Fair Cost of Care Exercise emerge, and the extent of underfunding facing social care becomes clear, MINT offers a lifeline to ensure that, at a local level, providers are well-equipped to take on local authorities.

Knowledge is power, and MINT empowers providers to get the funding they need.
