Cabinet Member Decision Notice – 23 February 2021 OFFICIAL DECISION NOTICE PUBLISHED BY DEMOCRATIC SERVICES ON 23 FEBRUARY 2021 The Leader of the Council and the Cabinet Member for Health & Social Care have made the following decision today: 1. LEADER OF THE COUNCIL AND CABINET MEMBER FOR HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE CONTRACT AWARD FOR MEALS ON WHEELS SERVICES WITH PREVENTATIVE WELFARE CHECK DECISION: That the Leader of the Council and the Cabinet Member for Health and Social Care approved the single tender action award of contract to Apetito Limited for the provision of Meals on Wheels Services, with Preventative Welfare Check , to the London Borough of Hillin gdon for a three -year period from 1 st January 2021 to 31st December 2024 at a value of £0. REASONS FOR THE DECISION MADE This allows services to remain available in the Borough enabling residents to have the opportunity for this preventative measure. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND REJECTED To discontinue the service – This was not a preferred option as th e service is a preventative measure designed to help maintain people living independently in their own homes for longer. Furthermore, this option could prove disruptive to existing customers. To competitive tender – Procurement reviewed the market and to complete a tender exercise currently would not gain the best commercial arrangement. To take no action - To not enter a new agreement would mean that the Council incurred monthly invoices for “ringfenced” customers.
