Report ACH23-053

The Committee considered a report requesting approval to vary the current Primary and Secondary Intervention Service (PSIS) Contract. This service (also known as Bromley Well) was managed by Bromley Third Sector Enterprise (BTSE). The London Borough of Bromley was the lead commissioning organisation for this contract acting on the behalf of both the Council and the South East London Integrated Commissioning Board (ICB) Bromley.

The PSIS service consisted of nine pathways with a single point of access providing a triage function and eight specialist service pathways for those that needed further support following triage. The contract variation would revise the service offer of one of the nine PSIS service pathways. This pathway was the Elderly Frail Pathway and the contract variation would 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 had been previously commissioned and funded through the ICB;

ii.  Enable the one-off purchase of an additional van for use by additional handyperson, which was not currently part of the PSIS contract;

iii.  Incorporate the Frailty Navigator service, which was currently not part of the PSIS contract; and,

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

The current PSIS contract commenced on 1^st October 2022 and was a 5-year contract which expired on 30^th September 2027, with the option to extend for another 2 years to 30^th September 2029. The contract variation would mean an increase in contract value over the whole life of the contract. The cost of this variation and full contract costs were included in accompanying Part 2 report.

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder be recommended to agree the variation to the PSIS contract.
