Reference: D54885
Decision Maker: Director of Communities, Housing & Environment
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
Approval will be sought for authority to procure a replacement contract for a resource centre for people who are sleeping rough or vulnerably housed, to take effect from April 2022.
Decision:
The Director of Communities, Housing and Environment :
a) Granted authority to procure the ‘Resource Centre Service’ utilising the Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication of a Notice under Regulation 32 (2) (b) (ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, as these services can only be provided by St Anne’s Community Services owing to the absence of competition for technical reasons. The award of the contract will be subject to the satisfactory completion of procurement and governance processes.
b) Approved a contract period of 3 years commencing 1st April 2022 (with an option to extend for a period of up to 24 months in any combination), with a maximum budget of £210,000 per annum (£1,050,000 for the overall contract period should the full extension period be taken up). The utilisation of the extension period will be subject to a separate decision at the appropriate time and will be as a direct consequence of this decision.
c) Noted that a report will be submitted for approval at the end of the procurement process to approve the contract award, which will be a direct consequence of this key decision and will therefore be a significant operational decision and not be subject to call in.
