Brief Description |
To take up the option to extend the contract with Community Links to provide day services for younger people living with dementia, for a period of up to three years. The current contract with Community Links commenced on 1st January 2018, and is due to end at 30th September 2022.

Impact On Wards |
The ‘community of interest’ served is younger people living with dementia in Leeds. The definition of “younger” is needs-led but broadly refers to people aged under 65. There are c. 180 people living in Leeds, aged under 65 with a dementia diagnosis. |
|
Financial and procurement implications |
A decision to extend the current contract would lead to the service provision continuing, without going out to competition, for a period of up to three years. The funding for this service is shared between the Council (£180Kpa) and NHS Leeds CCG (£112.5Kpa). It is committed recurrently from both organisations based on a long-standing recognition of the specific needs of this group of people, families & carers. |
|
Partnership working |
Community Links is seeking an uplift in contract value, reflecting that the funding has remained the same over the contract period. This will be explored in preparing the decision report, including exploring an increase in the NHS contribution. |
