Decision details

Community Integrated Care is the incumbent care and support provider at the Burfield Court and Gilda Close supported living schemes. These 2 schemes support and accommodate up to 20 individuals with a learning disability.

The current contract commenced on the 1st April 2021. This was awarded for a 5-year period taking the contract end date to 31st March 2026. However, the contract includes a 24-month extension period enabling the contract to be extended to 31st March 2028 and through consultation with key stakeholders a 2-year contract extension has been identified as the preferred option.

Community Integrated Care is registered with CQC and is rated “Good”. Performance throughout the initial 5-year contract period has enabled tenants to experience good outcomes whilst providing value for money to ESCC.

The decision is to support the additional 24-month term extension of the existing service Contract at Burfield Court and Gilda Close under its current terms.

Approval of the 24-month term extension of the existing service Contract at Burfield Court and Gilda Close.

This is an extension of an existing contract for a further 2-years. Consultation with key stakeholders has taken place and no concerns have been identified. Due to the nature of the service and that the current East Sussex County Council funded individuals are settled and benefiting from the service, the provision needs to continue to support the individuals eligible care and support needs in line with the contractual arrangements.
