Minutes:
RESOLVED:
(a) To approve the procurement strategy for the Wellbeing Service, as outlined in the report of the Executive Member for Health and Social Care.
(b) To approve a one-month extension to the current contract with Age UK Islington, from 1 September 2024 to 30 September 2024, with a value of £40,555, to provide sufficient time to implement the procurement strategy.
(c) To delegate authority to award the contract to the Director of Adult Social Care, following consultation with the Executive Member for Health and Social Care.
Reasons for the decision – Option 3 was approved for re-commissioning the ‘Wellbeing’ service through a competitive tender. This approach would secure best value for money and maximised opportunities to benefit residents. This would be achieved by including service enhancements and aligning the service with other Council and Voluntary and Community Sector early intervention and prevention initiatives. Review findings and resident feedback would inform the service specification development to ensure resident voices were reflected in service design.
Other options considered – Three options in total were considered, all as detailed in the report
Conflicts of interest / dispensations granted – none
