Award outcome

Description

The Council's contract for the provision of 16+ Supported Accommodation service operating in the Locality expired on 31 July 2022. The Council has awarded new contracts for the provision of 16+ Supported Accommodation service in the Locality which commenced on the 1 August 2022, but the Council was unable to award all contracts during the original procurement exercise and a second procurement exercise commenced in February 2022 and resulted in the award of contracts for all but one of the services. However, the acquisition or development of accommodation to fulfil the requirements of the specification will take some time and as a result an interim contract was required to avoid a gap in provision for looked after children and care leavers in the south of the County (Gedling, Broxtowe and Rushcliffe) and Ashfield.\r \r The Council intends to create additional capacity to fill the gap in service between 1 August 2022 and the new service commencement date, through the development of an interim solution whilst the implementation phase of the new service is completed.\r \r The Council has identified Framework Housing Association as being able to provide these interim services and a direct award was made to Framework Housing Association. The initial term of the contract was from the 1st August 2022 to the 31 July 2024, the contract was varied and extended in 2024 as a result of an ongoing need for provision in the South of the County. The contract was extended until 31st March 2026.
