Extension of the Young People’s Community Wellbeing and Support Service

Purpose of Report: To seek permission to extend the City of York Council’s Community Wellbeing and Support Contract for Young People delivered by Safe and Sound Homes (“SASH”) by a further six-months. A review of the Youth Homelessness Pathway is currently being undertaken by Children’s Services. A six-month extension would allow us to incorporate its recommendations into the modelling and recommissioning of the new Service.

The Executive will be asked:

i.       To approve the extension of the current Community Wellbeing and Support Contract for Young People with SASH by 6 months until 31st July 2024.

 

ii.      To delegate authority to the Director of the Corporate Director of Adults and Integration (and their delegated officers) in consultation with both the Director Governance and the Chief Finance Officer (and their respective delegated officers) to draft, negotiate and conclude any necessary documentation with SASH to extend the Contract, in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Contract, the Council’s Contract Procedure Rules set out within Appendix 11 of the Council’s Constitution (“the Council’s CPRs”) and the Council’s statutory obligations under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (“the Procurement Regs”).

 

The Council aims to give the same 28 days’ clear notice of key decisions, but in exceptional circumstances this may not be possible. It has not been possible to give 28 clear days’ notice of the intention to make this decision due to a short delay in the internal governance process.
