AHWB 001 2020 Extra Care Housing Contract

Decision Maker: Director of Adults, Health and Well-Being

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

This ODR is in line with the Adults Health and Well Being Commissioning 2018/19 that approved a number of delegations as shown on the uploaded ODR.

DMBC commissions scheduled care and 24/7 services at the following extra care housing schemes for older people:
- Charles Court
- Rokeby Gardens
- Swallowdale

The current contracts for each scheme were established in 2018 and are due to expire in June 2020 and following discussions it was agreed that a framework of extra care providers should be procured for a five year period. The Framework would also provide a mechanism for any potential future schemes that fall out of the housing needs survey and capital works programme led by strategic housing. The Framework will be for the provision of scheduled care and/or 24/7 services within extra care settings. The Framework will be tendered on the basis of 100% quality.

The ODR seeks approval to award the Framework agreement and subsequent call off contracts for Charles Court, Rokeby Gardens and Swallowdale, following procurement of the Framework and based upon the evaluation results.

Decision:

Approval to award a framework agreement and subsequent call off contracts following procurement of a provider framework for extra care housing care and support services.

Alternative options considered:

Consideration of the option to include the schemes within the scope of the Commissioned Care and Support at Home (CCaSH) home care contract. This option was discounted.
