This report requests approval for the invite of tenders in respect of an accommodation based respite framework agreement on the basis of the pre-tender considerations as set out in the report.
Decision:
(i) that approval be given to the invite of tenders in respect of an accommodation based respite framework agreement on the basis of the pre-tender considerations as set out in paragraph 6.1 of the report;
(ii) that approval be given to the evaluation of tenders referred to in (i) above on the basis of the evaluation criteria set out in paragraph 6.1 of the report.
Minutes:
The report from the Strategic Director, Adults sought authority for the invite of tenders in respect of an accommodation based respite framework agreement as a means of managing the increase in demand for community-based respite care. Members noted that as the West London Alliance Home Support Framework and the Day Care services, Shared Lives Services did not include accommodation-based respite care and neither was there an appropriate contract elsewhere, there would be a supply gap for those cases where residential respite placement services were needed. It was therefore proposed that the council established a dedicated Framework, called the Accommodation Based Respite Framework Agreement for this service.
Councillor Hirani (Lead Member, Adults, Health and Well-being) advised that the framework would allow for an agreed price instead of the current spot purchasing. in response to a question from Councillor Perrin, Councillor Hirani confirmed that the framework was not London Living Wage compliant but that work towards this continued.
RESOLVED:
(i) that approval be given to the invite of tenders in respect of an accommodation based respite framework agreement on the basis of the pre-tender considerations as set out in paragraph 6.1 of the report from the Strategic Director, Adults;
(ii) that approval be given to the evaluation of tenders referred to in (i) above on the basis of the evaluation criteria set out in paragraph 6.1 of the report.
