Agreed: that
1. The current commissioning arrangements for Domiciliary Care, which uses a dynamic purchasing system entitled ‘Accredited Provider List for Domiciliary Care Services in Cardiff (‘APL’), be extended for just over two months from 4 November to 11 January 2021, pending a report on this matter to Cabinet
2. Subject to agreement of the individual Providers concerned, the overarching agreements concluded between the Council and those Providers appointed to the APL will be extended to 11 January 2021
The current service agreements for the commissioning of Domiciliary Care are due to expire in November 2020, in line with an original recommissioning timeline that would have a new model for delivery in place by 4 November 2020.
The recommissioning of local Domiciliary Care provision is ongoing however the procurement timeline has been delayed impacted by the Council’s required response and refocus on the COVID 19 pandemic.
A two month extension allows Officers to re-present the changed procurement timeline to Cabinet members in November 2020 and request a longer extension period, in line with the local decision making process for decisions with a financial implication greater than £5million.
