Public Health, School Nurse Service, Direct Award

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.
