039166-2026Devon ICB are currently funding the Live Longer Better (LLB) contract alongside Torbay Council's Public Health team, which includes a citizen’s activation approach. Public Health have a three-year Service Level Agreement (SLA) (April 2025 – March 2028) currently in place to provide £35,000 per year contribution to this contract, with an element for Age Friendly work in Torbay. This funds 50% of a post holder, the other 50% being funded via the ICB contract. Upon receiving notice that Devon ICB would not continue funding this project into the new financial year (2026/27), Public Health identified that this would place the existing work programme and SLA at significant risk. To safeguard delivery, a decision was made for Public Health to fully fund the Live Longer Better (LLB) contract. This contract underpins healthy ageing initiatives across Torbay and contributes to reducing demand on adult social care, housing, and health services. Following a recent Expression of Interest (EOI) process, it was considered that procuring the other LLB service elements would provide little creativity or financial return for the awarded supplier and would require the Council’s Public Health staff resource to develop and embed. In essence, the procurement process would not benefit a new supplier or the Council at this time, and would instead stunt the service delivery to residents accessing the current LLB, which is currently well received. Therefore, internal approval was granted to reduce the SLA by 12 months, and direct award the remaining contract elements to the incumbent provider in the short term, with both to end in March 2027. This would enable time for a full procurement for Live Longer Better and the resultant integrated contract for all components, which will be awarded for a start date of 01/04/2027..
