Future Commissioning Arrangements for Public Health Services
Approval will be sought:
1. For the proposed process for managing the transfer of Public
Health Contracts from the PCT to the Local authority at 1 April
2013;
2. To advertise tenders for a first phase of procurements to
commence in quarter 4 of 2012/13;
3. For the proposed phasing of the re-procurement of the remainder
of the public health contracts transferring to the Local Authority
at 1 April 2013;
4. To delegate authority to award contracts to the Assistant Chief
Executive (Legal Services) in consultation with the relevant Chief
Officers.
Approval may also be sought for authority to award contracts of up
to one year in duration to existing suppliers, subject to
performance being at least satisfactory, in order to allow time for
the proposed re-procurement programme to be delivered, and new
substantive contracts awarded. This approval will only be required
if the existing contracts are not able to be extended by the
relevant NHS body before transfer at 1 April 2013.
