Issue - meetings

The Board considered a report of the Director of Public Health, which sought approval to award a direct contract for the delivery of health services and functions.

The Board was advised that the Cheshire and Mersey Public Health Collaborative (CHAMPS) had been commissioned to deliver and commission public health services across the Cheshire and Mersey footprint. The role of the CHAMPS was to energise the whole system and influence strategic partnerships to focus on prevention and to use the best data and evidence. It was reported that the waiver was sought to award a contract directly to support strategic management, oversight and collaboration as well as clinical support and the commissioning of large scale service delivery.

RESOLVED: That the Board

1)    notes the contents of the report; and

2)     agrees to the waiver of Procurement Standing Orders 3.1 in respect of contracts below the EU threshold.
