Report of Councillor Bell (attached)
Minutes:
Councillor Canniford presented the report noting that it was important to approve the Commissioning Plan for the Care and Support Provider as the contract expired later in the year and continuity of service was important. He added that Extra Care Housing was an important part of the housing mix in North Somerset and placements provided savings to the council as they helped delay or prevent more extensive residential placements.
Resolved:
That the Executive approved the commissioning plan to proceed to tender for a care and support service at a Diamond Court and Lakeside Court Extra Care Housing schemes.
Reasons for the decision:
As set out in the report and discussed above.
Alternative options considered and rejected:
