- Urgency
- Published justification
This is an award of a framework under the provisions of Section 41 (Direct Award in Special Cases) of the Procurement Act 2023. In particular Paragraph 13 of Schedule 5 (Urgency). Due to an unexpected and unforeseeable change in the capacity of the Council's existing reablement provider being notified to the Council which is outside of the Council's planned procurement pipeline, the Council has to act urgently to put sufficient capacity in place to meet its obligations under Care Act 2014.
The Council is taking this action for a limited period of 16 months, while it carries out a procurement for its reablement needs as a whole.
Awarding these contracts will enable the Council to maintain sufficient reablement capacity and ensure more residents have the opportunity to regain their independence through reablement rather than progressing directly into long-term care arrangements.
