Decision:

The Deputy Director, Adult Social Care, approved the contract variation of CPRs 21.6 and 21.7 to vary the contract awarded to the consortium of organisations led by Carers Leeds. The variation is within the scope of the original contract and does not materially affect or change the scope of the original contract or the contract term. The value of the contract consortium led by Carers Leeds is to increase by £149,750 per annum from 1st October 2014 in order to incorporate the service provided by Alzheimers Leeds to carers of people with dementia.
The Carers Commissioning Officer will ensure that the necessary action is taken to vary the Carers Leeds contract so that Alzheimers becomes a sub-contractor to Carers Leeds and enters into a contract to deliver dementia carers support services to Carers Leeds. When the two organisations have completed their negotiations and entered into a subcontracting relationship Leeds City Council will vary the main contract with Carers Leeds with effect from 1st October 2014.
