Approve the waiver of Contract Procurement Rules 9.1 and 9.2 to enable the Council to award new contracts to Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust and GPs, who are existing providers of key public health services. New contracts are required as there is insufficient contract extension provision available to maintain existing services during the review and competitive procurement of public health key priorities including healthy lifestyles, healthy child pathway, NHS Health checks and Infection Control.
The overall value of these contracts is approximately £5.3 million per annum, and the proposed new contracts would start on 1st April 2015 for 2 years with extension provision in order to ensure services are not disrupted and time is allowed for review and competitive procurement.
Decision Maker: Director of Public Health
Decision published: 17/02/2015

Decision:
It is recommended that the Director of Public Health approves the request to waive CPR 9.1 and 9.2 in order to award new interim 2 year contracts (with extension provision) without competition to the following existing providers:
Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust
GPs
Awarding new contracts without seeking competition to these existing providers will ensure stability and continuity of key public health services whilst providing a sufficient period for the Public Health Direcotriate to work with Public Private Partnerships and Procurement Unit (PPP & PU) to undertake strategic reviews and competitive procurements of key public health priorities including Healthy Lifestyles (including smoking cessation), Healthy Child Pathway, NHS Health checks and Infection Control. The new contracts will also align with the contract end dates for the Health Visiting and Family Nurse Partnership services to enable a full service review of the Healthy Child Pathway (0 to 19 years) to be undertaken if required.
The total annual value of these contracts is £5,175,900.
