Request to waive Contract Procedure Rules in
respect of the extension of a contract for Housing Related Floating
Support Service for People with a Physical or Sensory Impairment.
The award of the original contract, which started on 1 October
2015, was for two years with the option of a one year extension.
The contract will end on 30 September 2018.
It is requested that the contract be extended for a further year to
end on 30 September 2019, to enable a strategic review of the
service to be carried out and allow the timing of other appropriate
contracts to be aligned.
That contract procedure rules be waived in
respect of the extension of the contract for Housing Related
Floating Support Service for People with a Physical or Sensory
Impairment, for a further year, to end on 30 September 2019, at a
cost of £107,000.
Reasons - (a) The request to extend the contract for a further year
to 30 September 2019 is to enable a strategic review of the service
to be carried out and allow the timing of other appropriate
contracts to be aligned.
(b) The contract represents value for money as the prices are set
on the former tendered rates.
(c) The direct award is not a breach of EU Procurement Rules.
No other alternative option was considered
– the extension is to enable further time to enable a
strategic review of the service to be undertaken.
