30/01/2019 - Care Home Block Contract Arrangements
RESOLVED:
(1) That delegated authority be granted to the Executive Director of Health & Adult Social Care to procure and award block contracts for up to 25 units, with a maximum of 5 suitably qualified providers of care home services able to meet the various residential care/nursing needs of residents, including those with special care needs.
(2) That block contracts would be for a maximum of two years, with a break clause after one year. These contracts are intentionally short, to allow officers to undertake a full review of future demand and contracting arrangements. A final decision regarding the contracted number of units will be reached once offers from providers have been assessed, to ensure that the Council is obtaining value for money.
