Permitted Extension for PFI Care Homes

The following cabinet reports were approved 27th Feb 2024 (Strategy) and 29th Feb 2024 (Extension)

 

(Strategy report 27 Feb 2024 PB-2324-000034-S) Approval of the procurement strategy to secure a delivery and design innovation partner who will support Health and Social Care to collaboratively transform integrated community care for older people of Croydon.

 

(Extension report 29 Feb 2024 PB-2324-000035-EV) Approval to vary the existing contract to ensure the current care and support provision is secured and compliant until 31st March 2024 with the incumbent provider at the existing terms and conditions and pricing.

 

This report is to ensure full governance has been given to extend the service for the additional 6 months as per the permitted terms in the originally agreed cabinet report of 29 Feb 2024.

 

Arrangements beyond 31st March 2024 have been negotiated continuing with the same terms and conditions of the contract, plus an inflationary uplift of 6%. The incumbent provider has agreed to an initial extension of up to 18 months from 01st April 2024 – 30th September 2025. If at any point our procurement strategy timeline slips, and the incumbent provider is still required to deliver the care and support, they are willing to extend for an additional 6 months however this will need to be confirmed by 31st March 2025 and the contract extended until 31st March 2026
