Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Health and Adult Services
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
To approve the first extension of the Carers
Support Service contract for a period of three years commencing on
1/7/2025.
To approve the extension and variation of
Carers Support Services for a further 3 years commencing 01 July
2025.
The Carers Support Services continue to supply
good quality, well regarded and fair value services. Extending the
service will give an opportunity to consolidate service delivery,
ensuring continuity of service, continue the positive relationships
with these providers as key partners and take account of the
continuing improvement priority for carers support.
Extending the service by 3 years will allow
continuation of the current delivery of the service with no
disruption to individuals accessing the support. The contract has
scope to use this natural extension. Re-procurement is not required
as the services are not underperforming nor does the specification
require a material change.
Failure to extend the service puts a range of legal, operational
and strategic delivery priorities at risk.
