Variation of Contract Award for Assistive Technology - IT Platform Minutes: The Cabinet Member for Health, Social Care and Wellbeing considered the report which sought agreement to vary an award of contract to Legrand Electric Ltd as allowed under contract standing order CSO 10.02.1.b), which permitted authorisation by the Cabinet or Cabinet Member of an extension or variation to a contract where the value is £500,000 or more.
In response to questions, the Cabinet Member noted that :
- The contract extension was within the limits of the parameters of the contract spend in this area. - The extension facilitated the wider look at the supporting independence in the home with electronic means which would be in May 2025. - The capacity for provision of the alarms was good and able to manage additional lines being added. - The service had already completed the change from analogue to digital provision and this transition would allow future infrastructure needs for the community alarm system to be met with potential updates to the system to allow better independent living support. - There were 3400 alarms issued with 1400 for residents living in their own homes or within sheltered accommodation. - The social care team were working with the operational housing team on consideration of the infrastructure upgrade to allow, in future, more intelligent devices to be used in the home to support independent living. This could be help with medication reminders and a GPS tracker for residents with relatives concerned about their safety. - To enable close family to support elderly people living independently at home, agreed that it would be important to provide a visual on the council website of a home and the digital provisions available to support independent living. This would help close family have better oversight and management of their relatives care and ultimately help the elderly residents be able to stay at home.
The Cabinet Member for Health, Social Care and Wellbeing,
