Reasons for
Decision
The Cabinet Member has approved the direct
award of home care contracts in Westminster to three patch
providers. The agreement and provision of direct awards will help
regularise existing arrangements which are currently operating on
an implied basis. The direct awards will enable the council to
better meet its Care Act duties promoting and maintaining service
users’ wellbeing and contributing to prevention, reduction,
and delay in need. This model will reduce areas to support a
diverse market size and increase compliance with referrals
uptake.
