Reasons for Decision

The Cabinet Member has approved the direct award of home care contracts in Westminster to three patch providers. The agreement and provision of direct awards will help regularise existing arrangements which are currently operating on an implied basis. The direct awards will enable the council to better meet its Care Act duties promoting and maintaining service users’ wellbeing and contributing to prevention, reduction, and delay in need. This model will reduce areas to support a diverse market size and increase compliance with referrals uptake.
