Decision:

It has been agreed to extend three Approved Provider Lists (APL) until 30 October 2022. The exact extension period for each APL. Care Homes and Homes with Nursing APL - Proposed Extension: 01/07/2022 – 31/10/22. Domiciliary Care and Other Regulated Services APL - Proposed Extension: 01/07/2022 – 31/10/22. Non-Regulated Services APL - Proposed Extension: 01/07/2022 – 31/10/22.

Reasons for the decision:

This is to ensure the social care market in North Yorkshire is in a position to positively respond to the procurement exercise. It also takes account of the fact that the care market has experienced extreme demands on services throughout the Winter period, in particular in response to Covid. The extension will enable the market more time to prepare for and respond to the procurement
The providers continue to feel the effects of the pandemic and the longer term impact on the market is still unknown. These are key factors which need to be taken into consideration to ensure North Yorkshires commissioning strategy supports a sustainable market that meets the needs of people.
