Decision details
Extension of contract for care and support services in Extra Care schemes – DEC22/CMDN/52
Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care, Health and Public Health
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
The Cabinet Member is recommended to approve the contract extension with Longhurst for the provision of care and support services at Friary Court, The Pavillions and The Spinney extra care schemes from 2 February 2023 to 1 December 2024. The current annual contract value is £1,901,635 which equates to £3,480,253over the life of the extension.
Reasons for the decision:
To extend the current contract to 1 December 2024 which would provide sufficient time to call-off from the proposed Pseudo Framework for the Provision of Care in the Home in Peterborough and surrounding areas. The contract extension will ensure there is continuity of provision for people in receipt of the care service and enable the Council to meet its statutory duty.
Alternative options considered:
Consideration was given to tendering the contract until it could be called off from the proposed framework. However,this would not be an attractive tender to prospective bidders due to the costs of TUPE transferring staff and is likely to be more expensive.
Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:
None.
