Decision details

Decision to directly award a contract to Attenti Consulting Ltd for the delivery of an adult social care community review project.

Decision Maker: Corporate Director - Community Wellbeing

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Section 27 of the Care Act 2014 requires local authorities to keep care and support plans and carers' support plans under review.
Following the pandemic and with ongoing challenges of recruiting sufficient adult social workers into the council’s workforce, the number of people waiting for a review or reassessment of the needs and support package has increased. An external provider will deliver temporary capacity to undertake at least 300 reviews and associated works.
