Extension of Housing Related Support Contracts in the Generic Floating Support Sector This report seeks approval for the extension of housing related support contracts in the Generic Floating Support Sector for a maximum of two extensions of up to one year each to 31st of July 2019. Additional documents: Minutes: Councillor Strickland considered the report which sought approval for the extension of housing related support contracts in the Generic Floating Support Sector for a maximum of two extensions of up to one year each to 31st of July 2019 as follows:
(a) One Housing Group (Key Support) for the provision of floating support services to single people and couples without children at the annual contract value of £597,847; a total value for 2 years of £1,195,694.
(b) Family Mosaic (Haringey Families) for the provision of housing related support services to families at the annual contract value of £419,096; a total value for 2 years of £838,192.
Following a brief discussion it was
RESOLVED that the Cabinet Member for Housing, Regeneration and Planning approve the following contract extensions, in accordance with Contract Procedure Rule 16.02:
i) One Housing Group (Key Support) for the provision of floating support services to single people and couples without children for a maximum of two extensions of up to one year each at the annual contract value of £597, 847. The total for 2 one year extension periods is £1,195,694. ii) Family Mosaic (Haringey Families) for the provision of housing related support services to families for a maximum of two extensions of up to one year each at the annual contract value of £419,096. The total for 2 one year extension periods is £838, 192. Reasons for decision
It is in the Council’s overall interest to approve the extension of the current contracts whilst a strategic programme of transformation agreed by Cabinet in the report on the Supported Housing Review on 14th of March 2017 is implemented.
The services meet the Council’s strategic objectives of delivering short term housing related support early intervention tenancy sustainment services which prevent escalation to higher end needs.
Alternative options considered
The existing contracts are due to expire on 31st July 2017 and there is no further facility to extend beyond this date.
Procurement of new contracts was considered, however this would not enable the efficiencies and improvements that can be gained in strategic commissioning exercises with partners and may result in an increase in the price of contracts without corresponding value for money benefits
De-commissioning the services was considered, but despite the immediate financial pressures on the Council this option has been ruled out as it would worsen outcomes for Haringey residents. Savings will be achieved aligned with service improvements |
