Approval is sought to directly award and renew existing block contract arrangements with Ourris for residential and nursing care provision for 8 years with and option to terminate the contract at 4 years. Ourris provides a unique culturally specific service, particularly supporting Greek, Cypriot and Turkish communities, with no comparable alternative identified within the market. The proposal will ensure continuity of care, maintain service stability, and support ongoing demand for residential and nursing placements.
