Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Adult Care

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To seek Cabinet Member approval to extend the existing contract.

Decision:

The Cabinet Member approved the extension of the existing contract.

Reasons for the decision:

The services continue to be in demand from people who need short term housing related support.

 

People in receipt of the service, or who may need the service in future will not be able to access the housing related support they need from any other provider or service at this time.

 

The current contract is due to come to an end.

 

The contract extension will align the service’s contract dates with other housing related support services which will all be considered alongside the proposed Older People’s Independent Living Service consultation and future service design.

Alternative options considered:

Re-tender for 12 month contract prior to re-commissioning or let the Contract Lapse prior to re-commissioning.
