The report makes recommendation for a further twelve-month extension period to the existing contract. If this option is to be approved, it is imperative that all other options have been fully explored and appraised, in order to ensure that opportunities for service redesign, revenue savings as part of the Innovate programme and improved performance/ service outcomes have been fully exhausted. The peer review being proposed should assist in shaping the future specification and delivery model.
