To approve the recommendation to award a contract for the Community Based Care Service following a competitive tender.
That a contract for the Community Based Support Service commencing on 14 August 2017 be awarded to Tenderer B, C, D, G and H.
To enable a choice of support arrangements to be available to people who meet the council’s eligibility criteria through a framework agreement with five providers.
Not to award a contract, however this is not considered a viable option as under the current model there has been a marked upward trend with a doubling of hours of support commissioned for the same number of people leading to a doubling of costs within a 5 year period. There is no satisfactory explanation for this increase over and above the reduction in residential placements which does not account for the whole increase. This demonstrates the financial impact to the council and the need to implement a new approach which seeks to reduce the dependency for paid support.
