Issue details

Approval of Supported Living - contract extension for the Supported Living Care Services provision for Working Age Adults with Learning Disabilities at Burfield Court, Hailsham & Gilda Close, Polegate Schemes.

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.
