Decision details

Public Health wish to commission a Tier 2 Weight Management Service.

That the Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Health:

1. Notes that the approximate contract value is outlined in Exempt Appendix 2 and is not for publication on the basis that it contains information relating to the financial or business affairs of any person (including the authority holding that information) as set out in paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).

1.    Option 1: Run a competitive open tender procedure (recommended)

2.    Option 2: Bring the service in-house (not recommended).

3.    Option 3: Do nothing (not recommended).
