RESOLVED:
That the decisions of cabinet from 25 January 2011 meeting as set out below be reaffirmed. An additional resolution set out in paragraph 4 in respect of monitoring was also agreed.
1. That the award of home care service contracts to the following suppliers for a period of 3 years from 6 April 2011 with an estimated cost between £10,813,500 and £30,680,688 be approved. (Contract costs are based on calculations explained in paragraphs 8 - 12 of the report).

4. That regular contract monitoring reports be provided to the cabinet member for health and adult social care and six monthly reports to the cabinet.
