For the Director of Adult Social Services,
Beverley Tarka for Implementation of Contract Standing Order (CSO
8.02) for services under £10,000
A large tendering exercise was carried out
during 2015 for contract to start in November 2016 for two years
with an option to extend for a further year. This put in place 12
different training contracts to cover a wide range of learning and
development needs for Adults social care within the council and
borough partners. Occasionally other training needs arise which
can’t be met adequately by existing providers . On this
occasion these have arise for a number of reasons including loss of
an internal resource to deliver training, and specialist needs
arising.
Training contracts are in place to meet most
of the training needs of staff and partners. However there is some
training that is either highly specialised or one-off in nature.
Therefore it is not cost effective to launch a large tendering
exercise for these pieces of training work and instead the trainer
has come from recommendations from other boroughs.
If these training needs become more regular they will be part of
the retendering of contracts due to take place for November
2017.
