Decision Maker: Cabinet

Outcome:

Is Key Decision?: Yes

Is Callable In?: Yes

Purpose: Approval to award the care and support contract for two extra care schemes in Peterborough; St Edmunds Court and Bishopsfield Court.    The existing contractual arrangements are due to end on 28th February 2025.??     Agreement is being sought to award for both of the above services for an initial 2 years and 1 month period until 31st March 2027, with the inclusion for a possible extension of the provision for a further 2 years.     The initial contract period of 2 years and 1 month ensures that all extra care housing schemes in Peterborough expire on the same date in the same year. This will enable commissioners to retender all five schemes simultaneously, resulting in less resource for commissioning, legal and procurement and the opportunity for providers to achieve economies of scale thus creating efficiencies.     The total yearly cost of this contract is £988,856 per annum based on current service utilisation. Considering possible annual uplifts and increases in care, the total estimated contract value across five years is £5,250,000.
