RESOLVED to:
a) Agree the recommissioning and procurement of the Learning Disability Respite Service which has been co-designed with people who have lived experiences (experts by experience) and their carers and family members. The new service will be known as the Adult Short Breaks Service. We will invite providers to bid up to £1,203,500.00 per annum, with an additional payment internally to the properties team for the accommodation and annual property maintenance costs. This equates to a total budget of £1,303,500.00. The contract will be for five years with the option to extend for a further three years, commencing 01 April 2025.
