The Leader of the Council delegated authority to the Cabinet to make the following decisions:

RESOLVED: To

1.              Approve the strategy detailed in this report for the procurement of a contract for the delivery of supported housing for people with a mental health diagnosis for a period of five years for the period 2 August 2022 to 31 July 2027. The total annual value is estimated to be £1,126,000 (subject to confirmation of health funding) which results in a total aggregated value of £5,630,000 (subject to health funding) for the maximum 5 years. The local authority contribution will be £776,000 per annum (£3,880,000 in aggregate).

2.              Approve the extension and variation of the contract for the provision of supported housing services for people with a mental health diagnosis with Look Ahead in accordance with Regulation 30 of the Tenders and Contracts Regulations until 2 August 2022 resulting in an aggregate value of £5,670,827. This will ensure there is no gap in provision whilst the recommissioning takes place and discussions with health colleagues regarding future funding conclude.
