The contract will have an option to extend by a further 1 year at the sole discretion of the Council and subject to the continued statutory requirement and funding making the latest possible expiry date 31/03/2028. The successful provider will be allocated the full budget of PS161,262 per annum available for this service. The budget is fixed and firm for the full duration of the contract including the extension term. The initial contract value equates to PS483,786.

Local Healthwatch must be provided by an organisation which is a social enterprise as defined by legislation: Regardless of the legal structure of the organisation, it can only be a social enterprise if a person might reasonably consider that it acts for the benefit of the community in England. Certain political activities are also prevented, by legislation, from falling within this definition. The organisation must fall into one of the following three categories: 1. Companies limited by guarantee and registered as a charity 2. Community Interest Companies (CIC) 3. Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIO) Or have a constitution which: Ensures that over 50% of its distributable profits in each financial year will be used for Healthwatch activities.
