Description

The Rough Sleeper Accommodation Programme (RSAP) is a Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) initiative which aims to deliver 6000 move on homes and long term assets for rough sleepers. The programme comes with revenue to provide intensive support. GMCA was successful in multiple rounds of bidding for the programme and has two current contracts delivering support to individuals on RSAP. RSAP 1 contract is due to end in March 2024 and RSAP 2 will end in March 2025. They are both delivered by the same provider and the GMCA would like to align the contracts so they both end in March 2025. DLUHC has confirmed revenue funding up to March 2025. This requires us to extend the RSAP 1 contract by one year. SCOPE OF CONTRACT The RSAP 1 support service began in 2021 Delivered by Great Places Housing Association and is to support up to 44 of the 51 properties at the 1:10/1:12 ratio. • 4 FTEs skilled key workers to deliver support to the existing people in RSAP 1 properties and any future tenants • Support individuals to feel happy and safe in their homes with increased confidence to fulfil their goals and skills to sustain a tenancy • Support individuals to move on from RSAP properties between 2-3 years with choice and control • Personalised support that shows regard to age, gender, ethnicity and a range of previous personal experiences • Consider ways to access alternative funds to provide furnishings where needed • Support will be provided both face to face and over the telephone with the frequency dependent on the support needs of the individual but include at least once a week face to face contact whilst the individual is being suitably resettled

Legal Justification

The Modification/ VEAT Notice will come under the following PCR 2015 clause which is Regulation 32 ‘Use of a negotiated procedure without prior publication’. Section- the general grounds of the clause. 72 General grounds (2) The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts in any of the following cases:— (a)where no tenders, no suitable tenders, no requests to participate or no suitable requests to participate have been submitted in response to an open procedure or a restricted procedure, provided that the initial conditions of the contract are not substantially altered and that a report is sent to the Commission where it so requests; (b)where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons:— (i)the aim of the procurement is the creation or acquisition of a unique work of art or artistic performance,(ii)competition is absent for technical reasons,(iii)the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights, but only, in the case of paragraphs (ii) and (iii), where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement; (c)insofar as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with. (3) For the purposes of paragraph (2)(a)— (a)a tender shall be considered not to be suitable where it is irrelevant to the contract, being manifestly incapable, without substantial changes, of meeting the contracting authority’s needs and requirements as specified in the procurement documents;(b)a request to participate shall be considered not to be suitable where the economic operator concerned— (i)is to be or may be excluded under regulation 57, or(ii)does not meet the selection criteria. (4) For the purposes of paragraph (2)(c), the circumstances invoked to justify extreme urgency must not in any event be attributable to the contracting authority. At the time of the original contract Great Places Housing was awarded the contract due to their experience of delivering a similar service Housing First and the speed required to mobilise. It would have been very difficult for another provider to mobilise and establish the programme in this timeframe.
