The purpose of this report is to approve the commissioning of a new Community Dementia Model for a period of three years (with an option to extend for two years), with the Integrated Care Board (ICB) as lead commissioner and City of York Council (CYC) as partner.

Resolved:

                         i.         Agreed the funding to continue City of York Council’s contribution to funding the new Community Dementia Model for a period of three years (with an option to extend for a further two years) noting:

·      the contract will be procured by the ICB with CYC as a partner;

·      through a lead provider model and engagement with the market and to delegate to the Corporate Director of Adult Social Care and Integration (in consultation with the Head of Procurement and the Director of Governance) the authority to enter into an agreement with the ICB for the provision of the funding and to agree to the award of the resulting contract for the Community Dementia Model service by the ICB.

Reason:     To support people with dementia within the community.

This report seeks approval to tender for 2 new services, the Advice and Information Service and the Supporting Independence Service.

Resolved:

                         i.         To approve the approach to commission, through a competitive tendered process, the following two services for a period of 3 plus 2 years:

a)      Advice and Information Service (value £100,000 per annum)

b)      Supporting Independence Service (value £127,000 per annum)

Reason:     The option proposed will comply with CYC’s Contract Procedure Rules in terms of completing an open, fair, and transparent process as the market has not been approached since 2017.  The procurement procedure is subject to the Light Touch Regime under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and will be completed as an Open Procurement Procedure.

The provision of the Advice & Information and Supporting Independence Services ensures the Council meets the statutory duty under the Care Act 2014 through prevention and delay.

                        ii.         To delegate authority to the Corporate Director of Adult Services and Integration (“DASS”), in consultation with the Head of Procurement and the Director of Governance to take such steps as are necessary to procure, award and enter into the resulting contracts.

Report to follow.
