To seek an exemption from the contract
procedure rules as stated in 21.3 (j) pg21 of the rules:
Where an extension for a particular period can be justified, for
example where a Service review includes the intention to
co-terminate relevant Contracts within a reasonable period.
This will ensure continued Medicines Optimisation support for
Public Health commissioned services covering the period 1st April
2019 to 31st March 2020.
Over the coming year the single commissioning functions for Oldham
Cares will be established. This provides an opportunity to join up
commissioning of medicines optimisation support across
organisations.
RESOLVED - That:
An exemption from the contract procedure rules as stated in 21.3
(j) pg21 of the rules:
Where an extension for a particular period can be justified, for
example where a Service review includes the intention to
co-terminate relevant Contracts within a reasonable period.
Option 1 - To explore whether Medicines
Optimisation support could be provided by Oldham CCG. However this
could have an adverse impact on continuity of service, and could
best be pursued during the coming year as part of establishment of
new single commissioning function arrangements.
