Notice of General Exception - Contract Award for All-Age Carers Support Services - Lot 1 and Lot 2

Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Adult Social Care & Health

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The report seeks approval to award two separate contracts for the provision of adult carers' support services to the successful bidders:

                Lot 1: Adult Carer's Assessment and Health and Wellbeing Service

                Lot 2: Adult Carers' Mental Health Support and Counselling Service

 

Additionally, there is a separate Lot 3 for Young Carers and Young Adult Carers Services, which was procured under the same exercise but decided upon separately.

 

Together, these services across the three Lots will support adult, young adult, and young carers from the Borough of Croydon using a 'whole family approach.' This approach recognizes the complex relationships where individuals can be both carers and cared for, introduces the No-Wrong-Door principles, and ensures a smooth transition for young carers.

 

Decision:

1.    To approve the award of two separate contracts respectively for the provision of Adult Carer’s Assessment and Health and Wellbeing Service (Lot 1) and Adult Carers’ Mental Health Support and Counselling Service (Lot 2) to the successful tenders named, and for the contract values stated, in PART B of this report.

 

2.    To note the total contract value across all three lots is £830,642 per annum and the maximum aggregate spend will be £5,827,376 over a 7-year period

 

3.    To note in line with the usual practice the identities of successful bidders will be released after the award decision has been made.

 

Reasons for the decision:

As per Part A & Part B reports.

Alternative options considered:
