Councillor Gillian Ford, Cabinet Member for Adults and Health, approved the waiver of Council Procedure Rule 18.4 on 23/05/2023. The decision allows for the tender evaluation of the Extra Care Contract at Paines Brook Court, St Ethelburga Court & Dreywood Court to use a weighting of 60% for quality, 5% for Social Value, and 35% for price. This change alters the standard 70% cost and 30% quality weighting.
