Decision:

For the Director of Adult Services to approve the implementation of Contract Standing Order 10.01 and waive the requirement to tender the contract with Ameo Ltd, Gatenby Sanderson and Hays Ltd for two interim project managers and one interim business analyst for a period of 5 months from 2 August 2017 to 29 December 2017 at a maximum total cost of £165,440 + VAT


Reasons for the decision:

This decision is needed to provide the required resource to develop and deliver a set of business cases which will determine the value of the five Councils collaborating to address challenges in health and social care. The Councils have already provided the funding for the project team.

Alternative options considered:

The option to recruit permanent staff was considered and rejected based on the fact that funding from the five Councils has been agreed for 17/18 only and so the roles on offer are not permanent. The option to second staff in from other Councils was also considered but rejected on the grounds that each Council could not release existing staff into these roles and/or did not have anyone suitable.
