two.1.4) Short description
This contract has been awarded under PSR Direct Award Option A.
No other provider than the core contract holder has the means to do this effectively. The fact that it is already delivering the Substance Use Housing Related Support Service is a key requirement to the award and means that the provider is the only one that is capable of delivering the required works so a soft market test is not sensible.
This is ringfenced funding for this purpose and is cost neutral to the authority.
The grant funding is specifically to enhance existing local services rather than set up or bring in new ones, therefore there are no other providers who would be able to fulfil the requirements of the grant and contract.
This request represents a continuation of existing work and programmes that the drug and alcohol funding has been supporting for a few years now. Most of the work covered under these agreements / FEW’s is already underway and well embedded in services.
Home Group provides housing-related, abstinence-based accommodation support and floating support for those engaged with specialist substance use treatment services. Homegroup provide medium term temporary accommodation for around 10-12 abstinent service users to aid in their recovery and offer floating support services around housing and general life admin to a larger group of 50+ service users.
