To utilise the team’s assessment budget
in an alternative way; to procure fewer Best Interest Assessor
(‘BIA’) assessments via Reed agency (pursuant to the
current DoLS team order against the overarching framework) and
instead use the available budget to employ more BIA staff in the
team on fixed term contracts.
An ODR2 has been completed as the value of the change equates to
approximately £74,000 of the budget that will be used to
employ members of staff within the team, and will not be used to
pay for BIA assessments procured via Reed.
