Decision made:
 
It was agreed that the council shall proceed
to award a Contract for the purposes of delivering care and support
at the Cobham and Byfleet SIL schemes to the winning bidder in a
mini-competition run under the Council’s Community
Accomodation with Care and Support Dynamic Purchasing system.
 

Reasons for the decision

Adult Social Care requires a compliant
contract for the delivery of care and support services at the
Councils new schemes in Cobham and Byfleet when construction is
completed.
 
The award of a Contract for the care and
support to the successful bidder is consistent with the aims of the
Accommodation with Care and Support strategy which was approved by
Cabinet in July 2019.
