Description
Exemption Process used.
The Integrated Care Board (ICB) has recently given grant approval for 2 stages.
This has meant that the timeframe to commission a provider to complete the engagement work has drastically reduced and timelines to complete the work and spend the grant has meant we need to use an existing provider, which is Teesside University to complete the work.
The timeframes issued by the ICB have not allowed enough time to complete a tender exercise and is therefore an exemption from the contract tender process. The Public Health Team are satisfied with the work to date and given their knowledge of families in the project and the whole background are happy to use Teesside University to continue this work.
