Legal Justification

The proposed modifications will see the block contract reduce its hours from the current 368 hours per week to 273 hours per week, with those hours costed at £21.45 per hour. This revision has been proposed through engagement with Creative Support and is based on a staffing model they already operate to in East Lancashire. The reduction results in a service equivalent to 2 x carers from 7am until 10pm and 1 x carer from 10pm-7am and is possible through care hour efficiencies and will not result in any service loss to any individual's care plan. The reduced block funded hours also provide capacity to continue to address unplanned care hours, which is how the more complex circumstances of the service users at Hampton Crescent are presented. This service adjustment will provide the opportunity to streamline the care hours in support of service viability while delivering necessary contract efficiency savings and ensuring a continuous 24/7 service at the scheme. This is with the aim of ensuring the contract will be in a position to recommission in line with the hourly rate model while ensuring any Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (TUPE) requirements as they may apply can be satisfactorily met. At the same time commissioning officers will undertake further work with Creative Support and the Adult Social Care Service Delivery Manager for East North East to ensure the service viability going forward through referral management and review. This will include work towards a full step away from the block contract model, looking at options such as the phased introduction of a wellbeing charge to further support service viability if necessary. To accommodate this work the need to modify the contract by extending it by an additional 12-months. This will allow the time necessary to realise the changes and establish what if any further considerations need to be made as part of a future procurement. To ensure the scheme continues to be covered by a contract, that procurement work would need to commence from April 2026 at the latest. As per previous decisions, this will include commissioning officers engaging with existing tenants and service users to ensure client choice is considered as part of the overall commissioning process.
