The Oxfordshire Care Partnership is a joint venture between Order of St Johns Care Trust and BPHA, operating under a Project Agreement to maintain council-owned care homes and provide care services. The contract began in 2001 and was extended in 2013 to 2032. Options for service delivery and home management will apply from April 2027. Approval is sought to complete negotiations and vary the existing contract.
RESOLVED to exclude the public for the duration of item 7
since it was likely that if they were present during that item there would be
disclosure of exempt information as defined in Part I of Schedule 12A to the
Local Government Act 1972 (as amended) and specified below in relation to those
items and since it is considered that, in all the circumstances of the case,
the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest
in disclosing the information.
Cabinet had before it a report regarding the re-negotiation of the Project Agreement between Oxfordshire County Council and the Oxfordshire Care Partnership (OCP).
Councillor Rebekah Fletcher, Cabinet Member for Adults, presented the report.
In response to questions, the Director of Adult Social Care provided more information on the proposed adjustments to care provision to better meet demand, particularly for dementia care.
Councillor Fletcher moved and Councillor Bearder seconded the recommendations and they were approved.
RESOLVED to approve the recommendations as set out in the
report.
