Decision details
Technology Enabled Care (TEC) Award of Contract OKD27 19/20
Decision Maker: Interim Executive Director Adults and Health
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
On 19 March 2019 the Cabinet Member for Adults and Health approved the recommencement of the procurement of an all age countywide Technology Enabled Care service (TEC) and delegated authority to the Director of Adults Services (DASS) to let the contract on the basis of the most economically advantageous bid. (Report Ref: AH16 18/19)
The recommended option was the procurement of a TEC provider, specifically a TEC development partner, thereby replacing the existing telecare provision with an offer broader than the current one. This will involve working in partnership with the development partner to identify and develop new products and approaches for supply to customers. The ability to specify the service, albeit with the need to ensure that there is sufficient flexibility within the contract to enable the Council and development partner to adapt, innovate and be flexible is designed to permit the Council to manage the relationship in the way that it wishes to.
The procurement process is now complete and the Executive Director Adults and Health is asked to approve the award of contract for commencement on 1 April 2020.
Decision:
The Executive Director Adults and Health has approved;
(1) the award of the Technology Enabled Care Service to Nottingham Rehab Limited (trading as NRS Healthcare) for an initial period of five (5) years commencing 1 April 2020; and
(2) the option to extend for up to two further years if delivery and performance of the contract are satisfactory.
Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:
