Decision details

To extend the existing contract with Liquid Personnel through Constellia for locum social workers to conduct additional Care Act reviews. This was originally agreed on 11 March 2024 in the officer executive decision (OED) included as an appendix to this notice. The spend on that decision has been actioned and the decision was taken at EDM on 05/06/2024 to extend to the end of the financial year in line with the saving project and target.

To extend the existing contract and to fund an additional 1,000 reviews through the underspend on the 2024/5 ASC staffing budget. This is up to the end of the financial year and the project timescale.

To allow the contract to finish and wind down fixed term posts associated to the management of reviews. This was discounted as the locum workers account for 80% of the reviews conducted under the ‘People Waiting’ project and would not deliver against the projected savings targets.
