Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

This report outlines the proposal to set up a Greater Manchester Mental Health and Dementia Complex Needs flexible purchasing system. The FPS will be divided into two lots; Lot 1 People with complex mental health conditions including those with substance misuse and Lot 2 People with Complex Dementia.

This work will be conducted by Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership (GMICP) formerly known as Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership. The contract will be hosted by Stockport Council as at the time of going to tender GMICP was not a legal entity in its own right.

GMICP will contract manage all agreements and will not have a resource impact on Stockport Council.

Decision:

The Cabinet has considered a proposal to set up a Greater Manchester Mental Health and Dementia Complex Needs flexible purchasing system and has given approval to the recommendations for awarding the providers (as detailed in the report) on to the Flexible Purchasing System for Greater Manchester Mental Health and Dementia Complex Needs for the initial round 1, round 2 and other subsequent rounds of tendering and awarding providers onto the Flexible Purchasing System noting that the framework will be for a term of up to 4+2 years and accreditation awarded to providers carries no guarantee of business during that time.
