(Ruksana Sardar-Akram – 01274 432767) Additional documents: Minutes: The report of the Director of Public Health (Document “A”) provided an update on the intention of the Department of Health and Wellbeing to procure a Public Health 0-19 Children’s Service (currently Health Visiting, School Nursing and Oral Health services) with the development of a new service specification and to procure the service through a competitive tender process. The procured Public Health 0-19 Children’s Service will be integrated and co-located as part of the wider Prevention and Early Help model, across the four locality footprint.
The report provided compliance with Council Contract Standing Orders (CSOs) 2017/18 through which the Authorised Officer must, before inviting tenders or quotations for contracts with a total estimated contract value in excess of £2m, report details to the relevant Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
The Commissioning Team Manager provided an overview of the information contained in Document “A”, during which she highlighted that the changes to the Public Health 0-19 Children’s Service had been included in the Prevention and Early Help model which had been approved by Executive on 3 April 2018; three events had been held with the market; following feedback from the market a contract length of four years (with an optional extension of 2 x 1 year period) had been determined; and the intention was to go out to tender in July 2018.
The Chair stated that she was aware of a pending national campaign which had been brought to the attention of MPs in the District in relation to women with post natal depression, in order to tackle the stigma around the subject. She queried whether officers were aware of it. In response it was stated that the CCGs were aware and doing more to tackle it was a strategic goal for them. Members were also informed that, in addition to the five mandated health checks, there would be an additional three to four month contact for maternal mood assessment.
A Member asked whether it would be possible to avidly seek local contractors before widening the search nationally. In response, it was stated that the tender would be open to everyone, however there had been a lot of local interest as well as high interest from the community and voluntary sector and although they would not be able bid for the full contract due to its size, there was an opportunity to work with other smaller bidders to submit a joint bid. Members were also informed that there was a new Social Value Policy that would account for 10% of the overall scoring. The Scrutiny Lead officer stated that she would circulate a briefing note to Members regarding the Social Value Act.
Members were informed that the main risk identified was that if a suitable provider was not found the current contract would be out of provision, however, this was deemed highly unlikely given the level of interest in the contract so far.
