· 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
