Decision details
Community Equipment Service & Minor Adaptations Service
Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Adult Services and Council House Building
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
The report provides options for the
procurement of the Community Equipment Service and the Minor
Adaptations Service
Decision:
The Cabinet Member agrees to:
Approve option C: To bring Community Equipment Services in house and procure the Minor Adaptations Service.
Reasons for the decision:
Greater certainty of costs and financial impact, when compared to other options, mitigating an incomplete data picture which constitutes a significant risk in respect of going to market.
Greater control over performance and spend and the provision of accurate data reporting, impacting positively on equipment prescriber behaviour.
Lower disruption to services as experienced staff will likely TUPE bringing significant local knowledge and understanding.
Lower risk of procurement challenge in regard to CES.
Procuring MAS will allow sufficient time to concentrate solely on the transition of the CES to in-house provision, ensuring the service is safely embedded and working well before considering any future alignment.
Alternative options considered:
Procurement of both services via a tendering process.
