RESOLVED:
That the Cabinet:
1. Agree to exercise the last available 1-year extension option within the current contract with the provider Caterplus Services Ltd for the provision of Social Care Catering Services to the London Borough of Hillingdon. The one-year period is from 23 March 2023 to 22 March 2024 at the cost of up to £1,167,800.
2. Note that the contract value calculated is based on anticipated spend and that charges are based on a fixed charge and a variable element based on the number of meals provided.
Reasons for decision
The Cabinet Member for Health & Social Care introduced the report, which Cabinet agreed, to extend the Council’s contract for Social Care Catering Services. It was noted that the service operated well during the pandemic and provided meals in various settings which were nutritious and supported residents’ health and well-being.
Alternative options considered and rejected
Cabinet could have fully re-tendered the contract, but considered it not economically viable at this time.
