Review of commissioning and procurement of residential, nursing and supported living care arrangements

In December 2012 your Committee considered the first phase of the supported living review, which had been undertaken as part of a wider programme of measures to implement the Department’s Commissioning Strategy between 2011 – 2014. This review investigated the ways the City Corporation supported vulnerable people to maintain their independence and highlighted the current use and costs of residential, nursing and supported living care. 

In order to complete the review of residential, nursing and supported living provision an extension of an existing contract is needed with one of the City Corporation’s providers of supported living accommodation, Angel Support Ltd. This contract is currently worth around £705,000 annually.  In accordance with paragraph 25 of the City’s Procurement Regulations 2012 this extension requires the approval of the Court of Common Council and would be effected by a deed of variation to the current appointment.

We submit a printed and circulated report thereon and we recommend approval thereof.
