Decision details

This report will propose the award of single source contracts from 1 April 2008 to 31 March 2009 for pre-paid short term and rehabilitation residential care beds for older people.

95/2008 The Cabinet agreed that the provision of 15 pre paid short term and rehabilitation residential care beds for older people be exempt from the procurement process under contract rule 12.1.
96/2008 The Cabinet agreed that the Assistant Director of Housing and Corporate Services, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Adult Services, be authorised to award to the current providers set out in the report.

The procurement of this service for a year will provide the basis for a high quality service that is responsive to the needs of the service users and contributes to the preventative agenda. It also enables a full review of the service provision to take place and a long term commissioning decision to be made.
