The Board agreed to:
1. Waive the requirement of the Council Contract Rules that requires LBBD to conduct a procurement exercise for contract in the excess of £50,000.00. In accordance with contract rules 6.6.8 Public Health believe that there are exceptional circumstances why a procurement exercise cannot be undertaken at this stage.
2. Authorise the Corporate Director of Adult and Community Services to award the Public Health Contracts on the advice of the Director of Public Health listed in Appendix 1 to each of the current providers under the same terms and conditions as the current contract and for the duration detailed in Appendix 1.
