Decision details

The Director of Adult Social Services approved the recommendation to procure an extra care support service for Wharfedale View. The proposed contract if approved will commence 1st September 2016 and run until 31st August 2021 with break clauses built in at the end of years three and four. Expenditure of £20 per annum will be incurred by the Council as part of the contract arrangement to provide direct financial consideration between Adult Social Care and the eventual service provider. The opportunity is estimated to provide a potential annual income of £185,900 for any selected provider through charges for planned care and support for which Adult Social Care may be liable for up to 100% of the cost. This expenditure would take the form of Council contributions towards care costs following a financial assessment and falls under the Council’s statutory duties as defined in the Care Act 2014.

The Director of Adult Social Services also approved that the gateway stages of authorising the invite to tender and the award of contract be managed through the ASC Commissioning Board.
