To seek approval to extend the current
Medequip and We Care & Repair contracts, both due to end July
31st, 2022, a 1+1 extension. The reason for seeking an extension is
to ensure the contracts continues and equipment is serviced,
maintained effectively out in practice and minor adaptations to
homes continues.
The Equipment and Assistive Technology Review has taken place over
the past year and is in the final stages; this extension will allow
time to focus on evaluating, agreeing, and implementing
recommendations made in the reviews regarding both Medequip and We
Care & Repair. This will include the development of both
contracts to update their service specifications, re-baselining of
activity, review of KPIs. With Medequip evaluating administration
processes and overall consideration of how the service integrates
with the community equipment service provided by the County
Council, working closely with strategic procurement, legal and
financial services. We Care & Repair will be focusing on
revising the Disabled Facilities Grants (DFG) approval process, as
well as review whether elements of the service should be brought
back in-house to be provided by GIS; as well as what should be
handed over to district councils for a more locally driven
service.
