This is a decision to directly award a 2-year
spot contract worth £340 000 to Living With Equal
Opportunities (LWEO) in order to regularise existing arrangements
starting 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2026
The reason for this decision is to ensure that residents have
access to a responsive and good quality service in an area with
insufficient local provision and to allow time for commissioners to
coproduce a new model for day opportunities to be tendered for in
2025/6.
A timeline and plan is in place the co-production and governance
around a new service model to take place by the end of this
contract extension.???
2 years also provides enough time to monitor the contract and
terminate it if it is found to be underperforming
A waiver will go to Contract Assurance Board.
A strategy paper for a reprocurement will be presented in
2025.
