RESOLVED:
Following consideration of the results of the procurement process the award of a contract for Targeted Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services and the Neuro Developmental Disorder Behaviour Pathway Service be agreed, subject to the S75 agreement, which secures the funding being completed and signed by all Clinical Commissioning Groups before the 12 November 2015. The contract is for an initial period of three years with an option for the Council to extend for up to two years. Any such extension will be notified in writing to the Service Provider at least 6 months prior to the end of the initial period of the contract.
Reasons for Decisions:
The existing contract with Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SaBP) for Targeted Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) will expire on 31 March 2016. A restricted tender process (pre-qualification questionnaire, PQQ followed by Invitation to Tender, ITT), in compliance with the requirement of EU Procurement Legislation, Public Contract Regulations 2015 and Surrey County Council Procurement Standing Orders has been completed, and the recommendation provides best value for money for the Council after undertaking a thorough evaluation process.
