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.
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.
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.
