Decision details

The Cabinet Member:

1.    Approved Peterborough City Council delegating the function of Lifeline service to all new service users to Cambridgeshire County Council, whereby Cambridgeshire’s Technology Enabled Care Team will provide Peterborough City Council’s Lifeline service to all new users, from 1 March 2022 for a period of 4 + 3 + 3 years and estimated annual value of £99,400 giving maximum contract value of £994,000 over 10 years

2.    Approved the award of a 4 year contract to Cross Keys Homes Lifeline (CKH LL) for the legacy users of the current Peterborough City Council community alarm service – estimated total value £300,000.00, commencing 1 March 2022.

The recommendation is required in order to secure the ongoing provision of Lifelines and delivery of the Enhanced Response service to the residents of Peterborough and in the most cost effective way possible.

              I.        Do nothing: This is not an option as the existing contract for both legacy and new users with CKH cannot continue to be extended.

            II.        Open tender procurement: This option was explored and discounted, prompting the Councils to explore more integrated, efficient ways to deliver the service. 

          III.        Move legacy customers to the new service with Cambridgeshire TEC: This was not felt to be appropriate, as explained at paragraph 3.3.1

None.
