Why this procedure was chosen
Provider has already been awarded the contract for Cambridge City Council to complete in phase one a whole system review of homelessness, with phase two being direct awarded to complete a new homelessness strategy, action plan and works required under the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023 which is a review and strategy for Supported Accommodation, under a new contract.

Published risks
RISK CONSIDERATIONS LEGAL CHALLENGE BY ANOTHER SUPPLIER - this risk was very low as only recent procurement and simply increasing the value to include other LA's in LGR geography. RISK OF NOT ACHIEVEING VALUE FOR MONEY OR BEST VALUE FOR THE COUNCIL - Very low - This will deliver economies of scale across the LA's in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and save money for all of us involved. RISK THAT SUPPLIER SELECTED IS NOT THE BEST SUPPLIER - Low as scored highest in successful tender last year.
