Purpose

The
report follows on from an earlier procurement strategy report
[previous kdn reference to be inserted]
and recommends the award of a  two-phase contract for a strategic deliver
partner to support the Adult Social Care and Health Directorate to
deliver the transformation and savings required over the next 3
years. The programme of work to be delivered will enhance the pace
of delivery within the existing Strategic Managing Demand
programme.
 
The
Adult Social Care and Health Directorate will have saving
requirements within the new 2024-27 Medium Term Financial Strategy
(MTFS) for the Council. The requested procurement of a strategic
delivery partner within this report is a core strategy for the
directorate to identify and enable evidenced savings to be agreed
and delivered; as well as a substantial
transformation of the core service model.
