Minutes:
22.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Assistant Chief Executive and Director of Adult Social Care and Health.
DECISION
22.2 RESOLVED to (1) note progress made towards establishing health and wellbeing commissioning outcomes for generic infrastructure services, and associated joint strategic work plan; and
(2) agree proposals to waive the requirement for a procurement process to establish a one year contract from April 2017, providing the required capacity to deliver change in the provider landscape and inform the subsequent tender and full market engagement.
Reasons
22.3 Significant change is anticipated over the next 12-24 months across both East Sussex Better Together and Caring 4 You transformation programmes, and as the ESBT care model takes shape. Considerable work has been undertaken with the Councils for Voluntary Services to achieve greater clarity regarding the role and purpose of commissioned generic infrastructure services in relation to strategic health and social care objectives, and to deliver better outcomes in 2017/18, and regarding the wider role of infrastructure providers as system leaders.
