Decision details

WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL

STATEMENT OF DECISION

Notice is hereby given that the Cabinet Member for Adults & Public Health has made the following executive decision on the above mentioned subject for the reasons set out below.

Summary of Decision

It was agreed that:

1.         Appendix A of the report be exempt from disclosure on the grounds that it contains information relating to the financial or business affairs of a particular person (including the authority holding that information) under paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, and in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

2.         A Framework Agreement be awarded to the recommended provider for the period of three years, with the option to extend for a possible two years (1+1).

Reasons for Decision

1.            The current contracts for the provision of School Nursing Services expire on 31 March 2017. The new Framework and call off contracts will operate under a new specification model and with refined KPIs at a lower cost to the current contract.

2.            The recommended award of contract will ensure that the associated savings derived from this procurement will be redirected as appropriate to Public Health (PH) priorities within the wider council.

3.            The outcome of the ITT evaluation has shown the recommend provider to be the most suitable supplier based on the best technical and commercial scores.
