Contract Procedure Rules Waiver - Placement at Middleton Hall

Decision Maker: Managing Director

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Request to waive contract procedure rules in respect of a placement in Middleton Hall. The service user was a self-funder whose funds have fallen below threshold and has lived at Middleton Hall for some time. Assessment has deemed that contract provision will not be suitable.

Decision:

That contract procedure rules be waived in respect of a placement at Middleton Hall, at an annual cost of £49,428.

Reason - The usual procurement process cannot be followed, as the care home is the only appropriate care home that can meet the needs of the service user.

Alternative options considered:

No other services are considered suitable. This placement is the only appropriate placement to meet the service users needs.
