Minutes:
The report from the Director of Adult Social Services requested authority to award a contract as required by Contract Standing Order No 88 for the provision of a carer’s hub advice and support model service. The report summarised the process undertaken in tendering the contract and, following the completion of the evaluation of the tenders, recommended an organisation to be awarded the contract. Councillor Hirani (Lead Member, Adults and Health) reminded the Executive that at the meeting of the Executive in May approval was given to pre-tender considerations and the criteria to be used to evaluate tenders and the procurement process and evaluation criteria. The aim was to improve the consistency of the carer’s experience in their journey when accessing services in Brent in accordance with mandatory priorities identified through the consultation process. The contract would commence on 1 February 2013 to run for up to five years.
The Executive also had before them an appendix to the report which was not for publication as it contained the following category of exempt information as specified in paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972, namely:
“Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding the information).”
RESOLVED:
that approval be given to award a contract to Brent Carers Centre for a carer services hub advice and support service for a period of three years followed by discretionary extensions of 1 year plus 1 year (up to 5 years).
