The Cabinet considered a report
of the Executive Director (Children and Public Health seeking
approval for the re-procurement of the Healthy Lifestyles services
for a new contract in September 2024.
 

Resolved:
That the Healthy Lifestyles
services go out to tender via the standard competitive procurement
process to put in place a new service by 1st September 2024 at a
contract value of £650,020 per annum for a maximum period of
5 years.

Reasons for decision:
 
If this decision was not
approved, the contract would expire without replacement, likely
leading to existing provider staff redundancies, and there would be
a significant gap in necessary provision. The Council may not meet
statutory duties and obligations regarding Public
Health.
 
Other options:
 
Do
nothing.  This option was not
recommended, as the Council would likely not meet statutory duties
and obligations regarding Public Health, the contract would expire
without replacement, likely leading to existing provider staff
redundancies, and there would be a significant gap in necessary
provision.
 
Note: This is an Executive Function
Not
eligible for call-in as the matter has been subject to pre-Cabinet
Scrutiny by the People Scrutiny Committee.
