Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To award the DFG Construction Framework for the supply and installation of level access showers and shower over baths for vulnerable people of all ages.

Decision:

RESOLVED - To award the DFG Construction Framework Agreement following a procurement exercise to the four successful Contractors on a rotational basis:
1) M

Reasons for the decision:

A)Allow the Contract to expire and cease provision.
This is not the preferred option. National and local policy direction has a focus on providing care closer to home and maintaining independence: the service is integral to achieving this and leads to cost avoidance in other parts of the health and social care system
B)To seek approval for the contract to be awarded to the successful Contractors with a service commencement date of the 01st December 2022 and to expire on the 30th November 2024 with an option to extend by two further periods of 12 months. This is the recommended option as:
•CPB approved Delegated Authority for the Cabinet Member for Health and Social Care to award the new Framework Agreement approach on the 17th February 2022
•A comprehensive procurement exercise has been undertaken
•Service aligns with national and local Policy

Alternative options considered:
