AHWB 077/2017 Mental Heath Floating Support Service

Decision Maker: Director of Improvement Adults, Health and Wellbeing

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Doncaster Council currently commissions a borough-wide floating support service for people with mental health issues. The current contract, delivered by Riverside Care and Support, expired in February 2017 and a waiver has recently been approved to extend for a further 12 month period whilst a tender exercise is undertaken.

Decision:

To seek approval to tender and award a contract for a period of 2 years with 2 x 12 moth extensions for the provision of a borough-wide Mental Health Floating Support Service.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - Do nothing - not recommended as the current contract is due to expire in February 2018, which would result in either a contract breach, if the contract continued, or the potential for a significant number of vulnerable individuals to lose their support service, if the contract terminated.

Option 2 - Recommended option - To approve the tender and award of the contract.
