66 Halton Support at Home Service PDF 82 KB
Minutes:
The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, People, which
sought a waiver of Procurement Standing Orders for the continued provision of
the Halton Support at Home Service.
The Board was advised that the British Red Cross (BRC), had been
commissioned to provide a Support at Home Service until 31 March 2020. The
service provided short term support to people in the transition from hospital
to home and was seen as an important part of the discharge management process.
It was noted that the Service was also available to people in the community to
help avoid hospital admission.
It was reported that the BRC was a specialist provider in delivery of
this type of service. In order to support the Council in its development of out
of hospital services with NHS Halton CCG, support the
One Halton place based approach and provide
continuity of service, a waiver of Procurement Standing Orders was sought to
extend the existing contract to 31 March 2022.
RESOLVED: That
1) the
contents of the report be noted; and
2)
a waiver in compliance with Procurement Standing
Order 1.14.4 (iv) of Part 2 or Part 3 as appropriate, be approved.
