Public Health services, including services for
5-19 year olds, became the responsibility of Local Authorities on
the 1st of April 2013. The School Nurse service is currently
delivered by Central London Community Healthcare (CLCH).
This report seeks approval for one year direct award of contract
using terms and conditions that have been approved for use, for the
School Nurse services from 1st April 2016 until 31st March 2017 in
order to allow time for a robust service redesign and tendering
process. These services need to continue through the direct award
option as the terms and conditions of the existing contracts do not
have an extension option that can be exercised.
