02/08/2021 - Local Contact Tracing for COVID ref: 8664    Recommendations Approved

 

 This DPR documents the decision to extend the current contract with RE for the provision of local contact tracing until 31st March 2022, should the service continue to be required, via a single tender action.

The DPR for the original local contract tracing Special Project Initiation Request (SPIR) through the contact with Capita Regional Enterprise (RE) was agreed in May 2021. The decision to use the existing contract with RE, was to enable the Council to respond quickly to the urgent requirements to establish large-scale local tracing services within the Borough.

This report outlines the reasons why a further extension to the local contract tracing SPIR with RE is required.

 

Decision:

 

Approve the continuation of arrangements for local contract tracing to be provided through the SPIR with RE for a further 3 months, with an option to extend until 31st March 2022, should the service continue to be required.
