Report by Director of Adult Social Care and Health

Minutes:

29.1    The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Adult Social Care and Health regarding the Future Technology Enabled Care (TEC) service provision.

 

DECISIONS

 

29.2    The Lead Member RESOLVED to:

 

1) approve the recommissioning of the telecare contract to be awarded in April 2023 with a start date of 1 September 2023; and

2) delegate authority to the Director of Adult Social Care and Health to take all necessary actions, including contract award, to give effect to the implementation of the above decision.

 

REASONS

 

29.3    TEC services offer reassurance and peace of mind to a significant number of clients and at little cost, offering both value for money and a means to enable adults to maintain independent lifestyles for longer than would otherwise be possible. It is therefore important that this vital service is retained to benefit both existing and future clients.
