A decision is sought to request approval for a
short-term contract extension (until end of 2022-23 financial year)
to be directly awarded to
Bounce Together Ltd. for continued provision of a platform of
evidence-based mental health and wellbeing measuring tools for 46
Oldham
primary schools. This would be used to both deliver measurements
and analyse the results.
This platform is already being utilised by these schools, as well
as Oldham secondary and post16 settings (including those in the
specialist
sector). Extension will continue to provide a single system across
our education settings, allowing comparison between settings
and
trusts, as well as across the borough.
RESOLVED - That:
Authority be given to make a direct award of a contract to Bounce
Together Ltd to extend the time period of their contract to
continue delivery to 46 primary settings who have been engaged in
the project.
Option 1 - Approve the awarding of a contract
to Bounce Together Ltd to extend the time period of their contract
to continue delivery to 46
primary settings who have been engaged in the project
Option 2 - To not proceed with the commission and award of
contract, putting the funding back into the DfE Opportunity Area
(OA) programme
