That contract
procedure rules be waived in respect of a S117 Placement in the
Darnton Suite, Hundens Care Home, at a cost of £269,000 over
four years.
Reasons - (a) The usual procurement process cannot be followed as
this care home is the only appropriate care home which provides
this level of support in Darlington.
(b) The placement will be monitored by the service area, reviewed
and a contract framework set up, to ensure value for money.
(c) The direct award is not in breach of EU Procurement Rules, as
it is under threshold.
