That the contract procedure rules be waived in respect of the extension of the contract for Housing Related Outreach Support Service for People with Substance Misuse Problems, at a cost of £214,00 over the contract period of three years.
Reasons - (a) The
700 Club have demonstrated a shift from dependency on Local
Authority funding to co-funding to secure the viability of the
service for a three year period, at the same level of service
delivery, and they have secured grant funding to the value of
£75,000 for a three year period, reducing the Local Authority
contribution to £28,000 per annum.
(b) The contract represents value for money as the prices are set
on the former tendered rate.
(c) The direct award is not in breach of EU Procurement Rules.
