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 commencing  2^nd February 2019. 

The current contract provides support accommodation in a range of properties dispersed across the City and includes a small transitional landlord service for young parents.  The current contract price is £455,000 p.a.

The current contract was let in 2015 for three years with the ability to extend for a further two years, one year at a time.  The contract was extended for one year earlier this year when we implemented cost effective measures by reducing the contract price and reducing or replacing properties of poor quality or in areas of high concentration of supported housing.  We are seeking to extend the contract for a further year on or before 1^st February 2020, with a break clause to terminate the contract on 30^th September, if required.

A wider review of young people’s support contracts is underway.

The current contract has provision for:

• 95 young people, including at least 6 young parents in dispersed accommodation
• 10 young parents in transitional landlord provision
• Minimal short-term resettlement support.

(i) That the contract with Depaul UK, be extended for up to one year  with effect from 2nd February 2019 at the contract price of £455,000 p.a; and

(ii) that the contract with Depaul UK be amended to include a break clause that permits termination on 30 September 2019, if required.

This report seeks permission to tender a support service for people who have an offending history and risky behaviours.

The service will provide around 110 units of supported accommodation with a short period of move on support into independent tenancies. Support would be provided for individual service users for 6 to 12 months, depending on need. During this time they will be provided with a holistic support package to support their recovery and develop the skills and resilience to move on to a sustainable lifestyle in permanent accommodation.

The service will ensure that the needs of women are catered for, and couples where one or both members meets its eligibility criteria.

The annual expenditure on this contract will be up to £445,000 per year initially. This anticipates a reduction of around £35,000 from its current contract price.

In addition there will be a 1% annual reduction built into the contract from May 2020. The service will be commissioned as detailed in the report and in line with the delegations agreed by Cabinet in the Delegated Decisions for Housing Related Support Commissioning Strategy and Budget Plan 2016-2020.

As delegated through the 17 February 2016 Cabinet decision ‘Delegated Decisions for Housing Related Support Commissioning Strategy and Budget Plan 2016 to 2020’ the Director of Commissioning, Inclusion and Learning:-

(i) approves a re-procurement process to recommission a supported accommodation service for people with a history of offending, in line with the detail set out in the report; and

(ii) will award, following a procurement process, a contract to the bidder offering the best value response, for a contract period of 5 years with break clauses for flexibility.  

To clarify the reasons for Sheffield City Council purchasing zero-rated travel passes from South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE) on an annual basis, and to request approval of this expenditure for the academic year 2018-19.

That (a) this expenditure is approved as a matter of urgency and (b) further work be carried out by Business Strategy (People Services) and Finance and Commercial Services to obtain a retrospective waiver for compliance with standing orders and to secure a compliant route for future procurement of these bus passes.
