Decision details

Following consideration of the officer report, appendices and discussion, the Executive resolved to:

1. Approve the outcome of the procurement process to award contracts to the suppliers named in Tender Evaluation Report Confidential Appendix B for Dementia Residential Block Beds, for the length of 5 years (plus permitted extensions). 

2. Approve commissioners to work with the care home market to explore a direct award for a further 20 beds. 

3. Agree the case for applying the exempt information provision as set out in the Local Government Act 1972, Schedule 12A and therefore to treat the attached confidential Appendix B in confidence, as it contains commercially sensitive information, and as the case for the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing that information. 

4. Exclude the press and public from the meeting where there is any discussion at the meeting regarding the confidential tender evaluation report (Appendix B) (to be treated as exempt information).
