Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Kingwood (ADO, Culver Lodge and Beeching Way/Queens Close/Common Road contracts all end September 2025. Contracts have utilised part of their 5-year extension.
Recommendation of a further 2-year contract extension.


Decisions:

The Chair remarked that analysis demonstrated that the real impact to providers of adult social care of the government’s budget last year potentially exceeded £2 billion, given an increase in employers’ National Insurance contributions and a rise in the National Living Wage. He said that local government had not been given the necessary funds to cope with these changes, which put local government in an invidious position.

 

The Chair approved the recommendations in the report.

 

RESOLVED to agree to a continued extension of the contract with Brandon Trust to deliver the Adult Learning Disability Respite contract with the Council for an additional 7 months, from 1st September 2025 to 31st March 2026.
