Issue - meetings

The Board received a report from the Strategic Director – People, which sought a waiver in compliance with Procurement Standing Order 1.14.4 (v) of part 3, for the granting of a Direct Award for the delivery of a Wellbeing Model from Age UK – Mid Mersey, from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2024.

Members were aware that Age UK Mid-Mersey played a vital role in providing older people in Halton with the necessary support that helped promote their wellbeing and independence.  The report discussed the important work carried out by the Charity, which focused on supporting older people to continue to live fulfilling lives in their own homes and enabled them to live in an environment that promoted personal safety, social engagement and activity, maximised wellbeing and reduced the ill effects of social isolation and the adverse impacts of ageing. 

The report outlined the rationale behind the request and Members were referred to appendix one, which presented the Client Support Pathway and details of how the Wellbeing Model would be delivered.

RESOLVED:  That Executive Board

1)    note the contents of the report and associated appendix; and

2)    approve a waiver in compliance with Procurement Standing Order 1.14.4 (v) of part 3 for the granting of a Direct Award to Age UK Mid-Mersey, for the delivery of a wellbeing model.
