Parties Consulted: This procurement has been developed with internal input from Legal, Procurement and Finance, with the report to follow the standard consultation/sign-off process. The Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care, Public Health and Leisure has been engaged throughout, alongside the Corporate Director of Service Reform and Strategy. Engagement aligns with Brent’s approach to partnership working and community-centred outcomes in the Borough Plan 2023–27 (Thriving Communities; A Healthier Brent). Further activity will extend engagement to health partners, schools and the VCS through the Strategic Outcomes Planning Model (SOPM) process. No ward-specific or statutory consultation has been required at this stage, as the proposal relates to a borough-wide procurement decision. Ward members will be engaged at appropriate points during the SOPM process and any future site-specific decisions.
