Issue details

Breast Start - Contract extension request

·        Currently the provision is contracted with Netherton Feelgood Factory

·        The services are meeting requested performance monitoring

·        The current performance indicators do not truly reflect the activity needed

·        Therefore revised performance indicators are required.

·        Possibility to integrate the provision into a reduced number of contracts and providers

·        The capacity of the Public Health team to engage in a procurement activity prior to Sept 2014 would be minimal, due to other contracts with more risk, higher value and poor performance to be prioritised

·        The review and commissioning / procurement would require 6 months to complete.

·        Therefore an extension of the current contract to allow a review and procurement to happen

·        The newly procured / commissioned service would commence 1st April 2015
