Decision details

To confirm the acceptance of the transfer of the telecare monitoring service from Connexus Housing Limited to Doro Care UK Limited.

Decision Maker: Director of adults and communities (Historic)

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Connexus Housing Limited, the established contract provider of the 24 hr call monitoring service, took the decision to sell the ‘Careline’, the call monitoring element of their business earlier in 2020. This sale has been undertaken but the council has been subject to a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and therefore very limited information was available prior to the sale.

The service contract remains exactly the same and will remain in place for the remainder of the contract period to 31st March 2022.

The service was officially transfer on Wednesday 14th October 2020 and the restrictions in the NDA were lifted on Thursday 15th October 2020. Therefore the council can now confirm the new provider of the service
