Decision details

The report follows on from an earlier procurement strategy report [previous kdn reference to be inserted] and recommends the award of a  two-phase contract for a strategic deliver partner to support the Adult Social Care and Health Directorate to deliver the transformation and savings required over the next 3 years. The programme of work to be delivered will enhance the pace of delivery within the existing Strategic Managing Demand programme.

The Adult Social Care and Health Directorate will have saving requirements within the new 2024-27 Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) for the Council. The requested procurement of a strategic delivery partner within this report is a core strategy for the directorate to identify and enable evidenced savings to be agreed and delivered; as well as a substantial transformation of the core service model.

RESOLVED: To

Approve the award of a contract called off from the NEPRO single supplier Framework to Bloom Procurement Services Ltd (Bloom); to a maximum value of £5,000,000.00, to deliver the services of a strategic delivery partner (named in Part B of this report)   following a further competition undertaken by Bloom. The name of the successful provider will be released on the Council’s Contract Register once the decision has been made.
