Minor Adaptations Options Appraisal (WL)
Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Adult Services
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
Decision to in-house Minor Adaptations Service from 1 October 2024 and to facilitate safe transition of the service through a six-month direct award for the current service.
Decision:
|
The Cabinet Member agrees that Minor Adaptations Service is in housed from 1 October 2024 and that to facilitate safe transition of the service a six-month direct award is issued for the current service. |
Reasons for the decision:
As the Community Equipment service is already provided in-house by
a team of experienced staff with good knowledge of minor adaptations,
in-house provision could offer better commissioning and budget
oversight, economies of scale, scrutiny of high-cost referrals and
property tenure checks to ensure we are not providing a service where
it is the responsibility of another organisation.
Safe and well-planned transition to new arrangements is essential.
Therefore, current service needs to continue for a further period of 6
months in readiness for safe transfer by 1 October 2024.
Alternative options considered:
Undertake a procurement exercise using a specification based on
number of jobs per annum within a set financial envelope.
