RESOLVED that Cabinet –

 

(a)      approves the procurement
of the “Keep My Home” Contract with an increased value of £185k totaling £685k per
annum, and to agree to extend the current three contracts to September 2025
whilst the procurement takes place and ensure that provision of service is
maintained.  In addition, Cabinet also
agrees to a variation of the current Wallich contract to provide a pilot
mediation service during the extension period to September 2025.  The proposal was for a 3-year contract with
the option to extend for an additional 2 years, Commissioning Form (Appendix 1
to the report);

 

(b)      approve the issuing of an
open tender for the “Refuge and Floating Support Service” Contract currently
provided by Domestic Abuse Safety Unit North Wales.  The proposal was for a recommissioned service
for 5 years plus the option to extend for an additional 2 years;

 

(c)      agree to combine the
current 3 externally delivered “Mental Health Floating Support Service”
projects which were currently contracted to 31 October 2024 into one central
project and incorporate the service into the existing mental health and
well-being team (as detailed in Appendix 5 to the report), and to waive the
call-in facility to avoid the risk of not being able to give the required 3
months’ notice on 31 July to the current contract providers, and

 

(d)      confirms that it has read,
understood, and taken account of the Wellbeing Impact Assessments as set out in
Appendices 2 and 4 to the report as part of its consideration.
