Decision details

As part of the financial efficiency savings to be realised during 23/24 within the Children and Families directorate, the decision would seek to exercise a break clause in the existing arrangements for the delivery of Integrated Family Support, which is currently delivered by a third party. Any decision to utilise the break clause and terminate the contract would be subject to further consultation, the key decision notice is however required to allow for decision making arising after the completion of the consultation process.

The contract is due to terminate on the 30th June 2025 but a request to terminate this contract by exercising the 3 month break clause can be made in advance of this date.

The Director of Children & Families approved exercising a contract break close and to terminate the contract with Family Action for the delivery of the Integrated Family Support service.

The general public will be consulted as part of this key decision-making process. A process of consultation is ongoing as the provider and Leeds City Council support teams are engaged in the impact assessment process around contract termination.
