Minutes:
Councillor Bobby Feeley presented a
confidential report seeking Cabinet approval to the temporary extension of
contracts and process for retendering of contracts in relation to Denbighshire
Learning Disability Supported Living Schemes.
Cabinet had previously approved an extension to
the contracts as an interim arrangement pending development of the North Wales
Regional Framework for Supported Living but due to delays, including the impact
of Covid-19, work had not progressed as quickly as anticipated. Consequently approval was sought for a
further extension to the 35 contracts for a maximum period to 31 March 2023
along with the process for mini tenders for 41 contracts. Detailed costing
including the proposed timetable and contract details had been included in the
report.
In response questions from Councillor Meirick Davies,
the Head of Legal, HR and Democratic Services advised of the current practice
to complete the necessary forms using digital signatories with an email trail
to evidence authorisation. He agreed to
ask for officers’ names to be typed under the signatory for transparency.
RESOLVED that Cabinet
approve the issuing of temporary extensions to 35 learning Disability Supported
Living contracts for a maximum period to 31 March 2023 and approves the process
of running mini tenders for 41 contracts under the North Wales Regional
Framework for Supported Living (the detail of the proposed timetable and
contract details are included in Appendix 1 to the report).
The meeting concluded at 11.55 hrs.
