Alternative options considered
The option of extending the existing contracts was not available beyond 2015 as the contracts had previously extended. Therefore no other options were considered.
Reasons for decision
The contracts for established services are due to expire and there is no facility to extend beyond March 2015. It was therefore necessary to tender to continue to provide services to vulnerable service users and to achieve the aim of developing a HRS Pathway.
As a result of the procurement process, which has been carried out in line with the Council’s Contract Standing Orders and the Procurement Code of Practice, it is necessary to award the contract to the successful tenderer in accordance with CSO 9.7.1 (d).
