Meeting: 29/09/2015 - Cabinet (Item 14)

14 Gateway 3 Contract Award: Provision of Supported Accommodation and Floating Support for Young People Aged 16+ pdf icon PDF 61 KB

Minutes:

Background:

 

This report sought permission to admit suppliers to the framework agreement for the provision of supported accommodation and floating support services for 2 years (with options to extend for two further 12 month periods). This would enable the framework agreement to be used to award contracts for individual placements to pre-tendered and approved providers.

 

The Council was required to procure accommodation and support services for young people 16+ and care leavers with identified care needs. This provision was tailored to aid young people in their transition into the community and adulthood. Children’s Social Care was responsible for the accommodation and support for these young people and also determine the level of support to be provided.

 

It was noted that this Gateway 3 Report had been approved for submission to the Cabinet after review and discussion at the Children and Adults Directorate Management Team Meeting on 18 August 2015 and the Procurement Board on 9 September 2015. 

 

The report set out details of the procurement process undertaken and the business case.  An exempt appendix contained key information in respect of the financial analysis of the scheme, evaluation and award.
