The Interim Director of Adult Social Services approved the recommendation to waive Contract Procedure Rules (CPRs) 9.1 and 9.2 using the authority set out in CPR 1.3 to enter into a new contract with the current Homecare Framework Providers.
The Interim Director of Adult Social Services approved the new agreement for one period of up to twelve months (November 2015 to October 2016), however it is anticipated that the new service model will be implemented as soon as possible once the procurement process is completed and that the full twelve months will not be required.
The Head of Commissioning will be responsible for implementing these decisions by agreeing the new contact with the providers following the expiry of the call-in period for this decision.
