The Board considered a report of the Executive Director Adult Social Care, which sought approval for two Non-Emergency Waivers in compliance with Procurement Standing Order 1.14.4 (v) of part 3 to allow the continuation of contracts with the incumbent providers until new procurement processes have been undertaken and completed. This would ensure business continuity. The two contracts were in relation to the following Homelessness services that were due to end in 2025:
· Single Homelessness Supported Accommodation Service; and
· Homeless Families Supported Accommodation Service.
RESOLVED: That
1) the report be noted; and
2) the Board approve a Waiver in compliance with Procurement Standing Order 1.14.4 (v) of part 3 of Procurement Standing Orders, to grant extensions to the current Homeless contracts as per sections 3.8 and 3.9 of this report.
