Homeless Support Services - 16 and 17 year old provision New!

Decision maker:  Director of Regeneration and Place

Decision due:   Between 1 Jul 2024 and 31 Oct 2024

Lead officer:  Lisa Newman

Notice of proposed decision first published: 29/05/2024

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The proposal is to provide a package of support to extremely vulnerable 16 and 17 year olds to whom the Council has a statutory duty to provide accommodation. This package of support is to be provided by a preferred tenderer after completion of a procurement exercise A review of the detailed contractual specification arising has demonstrated that the services contemplated do not engage the provisions within the constitution which would otherwise have provided an exemption to the need to publish the decision. A published officer decision notice is required in order to enable the appointment of the preferred tenderer to proceed. The matter is of such urgency that it would be impracticable to defer.
