Cabinet considered the report titled the Award of Contract for an Adult Social Care Case Management System.

Councillor Coppinger, Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care & Maidenhead introduced the report by saying that this paper would affect all residents, as at some point in everyone’s life, residents would be in need of care either at an external location or within their own home. He said that the current system was at increased risk of security breaches and that the borough needed a new system that was capable of providing strength-based practices, in order for residents to be able to stay as independent as possible for as long as possible. He asked Cabinet to approve the expenditure of £910,381 for the supply, implementation, and maintenance of the chosen Case Management System. He said that this sum of money had already been approved within the budget process at Full Council.

Councillor Haseler, Cabinet Member for Planning, Parking, Highways & Transport, wholeheartedly agreed with this. He said that the current system was at the end of its current life, and that he wished to second the proposal to see a new and more efficient system come into effect, which would have a positive impact on all residents.

This was proposed by Councillor Coppinger and seconded by Councillor Haseler.

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That Cabinet noted the report and:

i)               Agreed the award of £910,381 for the supply, implementation, and maintenance of the Mosaic Case Management System (CSM). This would be funded from capital budgets already approved in the 2023/24 budget.
