Report of the Director of Adult Social Care

 

The information contained in this report is exempt in that it falls within the following prescribed category Paragraph 3 – Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) 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.

 

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.

 

The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to:

 

a)    Consider and approve the recommendations outlined in the exempt report.
