The adoption service is currently in the process of becoming regionalised, meaning there is no certainty with regards to the current services and contracts in place.
The decision to extend the contract was made following the completion of an options appraisal and the outcome that extending was the best option at present for Devon County Council.
An options appraisal was carried out with the following options considered:
o Devon County Council to re-tender the contract
o Direct award to an alternative supplier
o Allow the contract to expire and do not put another in place
o Extend the current contract
No conflicts of interest in relation to the extension of this contract.
A copy of this decision and any supporting documentation considered by the Officer taking this decision may also be made available or inspection by the public at the Council’s Offices or posted upon payment of any copying and postage charges. Any member of the public wishing to take up either of these options is asked to please ring 01392 382888 or email: members.services@devon.gov.uk
