Decisions

This report seeks approval to utilise the clause within a current contract for dispersed supported housing service for young people for a period of up to one year from 2^nd February 2018 to 1^st February 2019. 

The current contract provides support accommodation in a range of properties dispersed across the City. The current contract price is £485,000.

The current contract was let in 2015 for three years plus the ability to extend for a further two years, one year at a time. 

The Council wishes to extend the contract for up to a year until 1^st February 2019. A wider review of all our young people’s housing related support contracts is underway and a new commissioning plan will be completed by the end of spring 2018. The Commissioning Plan will seek to recommission all supported accommodation for young people

Extending this contract for up to a year will allow this service to continue whilst the commissioning plan is approved and all new supported accommodation services for young people are procured and service models implemented.

The current contract has provision for:

• 6 young people in young parents dispersed accommodation,
• 10 young parents in  transitional landlord provision,
• 96 young people in dispersed accommodation
• 35 people in resettlement at any one time. 

The Council has identified ways in which the provision can be used in a more cost effective way, which involves:

·         increasing supported accommodation for young parents

·         reducing the overall number of  properties  by taking out those of low quality or in areas of high concentration of supported housing and swopping some units of accommodation to widen location of supported housing

·         reducing the resettlement role to retain funding of support in supported accommodation.

·         reducing the contract fee by £30,000.

The future contract will have provision for:

• 14 young parents in a transitional landlord provision
• 81 units of dispersed accommodation for young parents and single people, to be used flexibly but with an increase of young parent provision to current provision
• Resettlement support to young parents and young people moving on from support

That the contract held by Depaul UK, be extended for one up to one year (from 2nd February 2018 to 1st February 2019) at a reduced contract price of £455,000 (a £30,000 reduction) and a reduction of 7 supported accommodation units.
