Minutes:

          The Board considered a request to waive compliance with Procurement Standing Orders to allow the continuation of a contract with We are With You to deliver on behalf of the Council, the Pan Cheshire Missing from Home and Care Service, for a period of one year from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024. The value of the contract extension for one year was £491,633. All local authorities had agreed to continue with a joint commissioning approach with Halton acting as the lead.

 

          RESOLVED: That

 

1)    the report be noted; and

 

2)    approval be given to the recommendation that the contract with We are With You be extended for a further twelve months without going through the Procurement process, in pursuance of Procurement Standing Order 1.14.4 (non-emergency procedures – exceeding a value threshold of £100,000), seeking to waive part 3.1 and 3.2 of Procurement Standing Orders.
