To consider the options for the future
commissioning of targeted prevention activity in local communities
and determine the agreed approach
Following consideration of the options for the
future commissioning of targeted prevention activity in local
communities it was agreed to pursue an option proposing to extend
provider contracts for six months. This would require all incumbent
providers to agree. If this is not achievable, option 2 was agreed
which would end the existing service on 30 September 2022 and
develop new provision built around community organisations
delivered through grant funding that is aligned to outcomes agreed
in collaboration with Stronger Communities and Living Well
teams.
The decision was made following representation
from the voluntary and community sector to provide time to secure
alternative funding mechanisms following the end of the current
contract.
An option to extend the existing contracts
enacting the two year extension clause was considered but not
agreed due to the lack of clear outcomes and value for money for
the local authority.
