Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below
- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations
Explanation:
Origin Housing is both the service provider and the landlord of the properties used for the service. The properties were refurbished to a high standard a few years ago and the Origin Housing have not given permission for the properties to be managed by another provider. The Council therefore conducted a robust negotiation process to ensure they were achieving value for money and that the appropriate checks could be undertaken before awarding the contract.
There are a limited number of available properties in the borough therefore it was crucial that the Council retained the use of these high-quality properties for young people in the borough.
This service is required to ensure the Council meets its legal and statutory duties which includes the Sufficiency duty 2010 - The Children Act (s22G) that places a requirement on local authorities to take steps to ensure that there is sufficient accommodation in borough to meet the needs of young people looked after by the Council.
