The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, People, on the provision of Day, Residential and Nursing Home Care Providers.

The Board was advised that the two contracts referred to in the report – Residential, Nursing Homes – Out of Borough, and Day, Residential and Nursing Home Care – were originally approved for three years ending on 31 March 2018, with the option to extend for a further two years. Details of the current providers of these services were set out at Appendix 1.

It was noted that a Care Home Development Project Group had been formed to enable stakeholders representing key sectors to work collaboratively in exploring and implementing identified work streams. By extending the contracts with the current providers for a further two year period, this would enable the completion of the Group’s work in designing a new model of working to achieve stronger sustainability and improved quality in the sector.

RESOLVED: That the extension of the two current contracts for an additional two years, until 31 March 2020 for services provided by Day, Residential and Nursing Homes Care Providers, be agreed.
