Procurement Information
This contract period would provide greater stability for children, young people, and their families. Progress Care has provided the relevant service for 9 years and have established an effective and productive working relationship. After careful consideration, to minimise the risk of disruption to children, young people and their families, and to ensure continuity of service and support for families, the ICB wishes to award a contract to Progress Care, on the basis that: - a) The ICB is satisfied with the contractual performance of Progress Care as the existing service provider. b) The ICB and its partner, Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, have established an effective, flexible and productive service delivery arrangement with Progress Care. Progress Care has also established an effective relationship with its service users, their families and the 5 local Special Schools c) Progress Care has ensured that the voice of children and young people is heard appropriately and reflected in service delivery. d) Progress Care has trained staff appropriately to manage the medical needs of service users, to the extent that, in the event of staff absence, these needs can still be met, and service resilience maintained. e) Progress Care has provided innovative solutions to the specific care needs of individuals, making use of its knowledge of each service user and other resources at its disposal across its service portfolio. f) The ICB is satisfied with the location of the existing service, its proximity to existing service users, their schools, and their families. g) The ICB believes that a change of service provider, any consequential change to the location of service provision, and any change to established transportation arrangements, may be detrimental to the health and wellbeing of vulnerable children and young people with complex health and care needs and their families. h) The ICB believes the market of alternative providers to be limited. Intelligence from attempts to identify other service providers to support the emergency provision of short breaks have proven to be extremely challenging and, on most occasions, have resulted in no locally accessible placements being sourced. A market engagement exercise resulted in limited engagement from other providers and a lack of confidence in other providers bidding for the service. It is considered that a competitive process will result in only one bid or no bids from the market which would leave the service at risk. i) For the reasons described above it is in the public interest to award the contract.
