Minutes:
Councillor Nerva (Cabinet Member for Public Health & Social Care) introduced a report seeking approval to the direct award of a contract in respect of Children’s Public Health 0-19 years (Health Visiting and School Nursing) with Central London Community Health Care NHS Trust pursuant to the Provider Selection Regime.
In considering the report, members noted the outline provided in relation to the procurement options available for reprovision of the service following introduction of the new Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and wider changes introduced to commissioning arrangements across the health and social care sector as a result of the Health & Care Act 2022. In recognising the importance of the public health services provided under the contract in relation to the role of health visiting and school nursing and their value as part of an integrated offer of early intervention and prevention for families linked to expanded use of the Family Wellbeing Centres and wider links with delivery of the Health & Wellbeing Strategy, Members advised they were supportive of the approach outlined within the report involving a direct award of contract.
As a result, Cabinet RESOLVED:
(1) To approve the pre-tender considerations set out in paragraph 3.5 of the report.
(2) To approve the direct award a contract in respect of Children’s Public Health Services 0-19 Years (Health Visiting and School Nursing) to the provider Central London Community Health Care NHS Trust for 2 years.
