Purpose

Approval
to award the care and support contract for two extra care schemes
in Peterborough;
St Edmunds Court and

Bishopsfield Court. 

 

The existing
contractual arrangements are due to end on 28th February
2025.??  

 

Agreement is being
sought to award for
both of the above services
for an initial
2 years and 1 month period until
31st March 2027, with the inclusion for a possible extension of the provision for a further 2
years.  

 

The initial contract period of 2 years and 1 month ensures
that all extra care housing schemes in Peterborough expire on the
same date in the same year. This will enable commissioners to
retender all five schemes simultaneously, resulting in less
resource for commissioning, legal and procurement and the
opportunity for providers to achieve economies of scale thus
creating
efficiencies.  

 

The total yearly cost
of this contract is £988,856 per annum based on current
service utilisation. Considering possible annual uplifts and
increases in care, the total estimated contract value across five
years is £5,250,000. 
 

Decision

 
 
Cabinet resolved to:

Ltd (company reference 06326201) for two extra care housing schemes

two years and 1 month (ie until 31st March
2027), with an option to extend up to two years in increments of 12
months, for a total contract value of £5,250,000 (value
includes the possible extension period).
