Decision details

That the variation to the PSIS contract be agreed.

The PSIS service consists of nine pathways with a single point of access providing a triage function and eight specialist service pathways for those that need further support following triage. The contract variation will revise the service offer of one of the nine PSIS service pathways.

This pathway is the Elderly Frail Pathway and the contract variation will change the existing service offer and the PSIS contract in the following ways:

i.  Expand the capacity of the current Handyperson service pathway to include the activity that has been previously commissioned and funded through the ICB.

ii.  Enable the one-off purchase of an additional Van for use by additional handyperson (This is not currently part of the PSIS contract)

iii.  Incorporate, the Frailty Navigator service. (The Frailty Navigator Service is currently not part of the PSIS contract).  Historically, this service was funded via Innovation funding and more recently, through ICB directly procuring this service with Age UK (Bromley and Greenwich).

iv.  Enable the allocation of additional funds to the PSIS contract over a 4.5-year period.
