Review Details

The authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated. This period allows organisations to seek further information from the contracting authority before the contract is entered into. Such additional information should be requested from the addressee found in I.1. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly (within 30 days beginning with the date when the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for such action had arisen). Where a contract has not been entered into the court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. Following the correct implementation of a 10 day standstill period and publication of appropriate notices the court may only award damages once the contract has been entered into.

Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition

Why this procedure was chosen

It is considered the above ground applies in this case as there is strong evidence that no reasonable alternative to Creative Support providing the services exists for the following reasons: The scheme is located at a site at which LCC holds nomination rights. At Hampton Crescent where Creative Support is a procured provider however all existing tenants have chosen to be with this provider and the direct award continues this arrangement. Current tenants have the choice to opt out of receiving care from the on-site provider delivering care at their establishment as part of the block contracting arrangement. The tenants continue to receive care and support from the on-site provider as part of their ability to utilise their personal choice in respect of their care and support provider. The intention is to further empower individual choice over the provider of planned care and support at the schemes and ensure people's existing provider is part of that choice. A review of the Leeds Model of Extra Care has commenced as part of the wider approach to commissioning home care in the city, following which it is likely that changes will need to be considered when establishing new longer-term contracts with extra care providers. The direct awards requested here will help ensure tenants current provider is a part of this work. The changes to be introduced as part of the wider home care work are anticipated to be finalised by Spring 2024. The award here is intended to facilitate the predicted work needed to bring extra closer in line with home care. This review and wider home care work will determine the commissioning arrangements for extra care which will then be implemented following the conclusion of all this work. The ongoing work will determine how care time is defined and purchased. The intention is to bring all extra care schemes under the same purchasing model and for that model to work in line with the wider home care arrangements, which should introduce improvements for service users.
