Additional information: This contract was initially advertised with a range value of PS400 to PS600k a year as the Council did an estimation of the core services plus additional grants that they will secure, however, soon after the procurement exercise was concluded, the Council received confirmation of grant for the Rough Sleepers Initiative that exceeded the value initially estimated. The Contract Award Notice clearly set out the intention of the Council to award to the appointed provider by way of variation any additional scope for similar nature services where the funding has been secured. The Council made the estimation of the contract value with the information that they had at the time. The result of the procurement exercise would not have been different should the contract value be the new proposed value; contract advert communicated to the market that the Council would vary the contract if further funding for the same nature of services would be received by Central Government; for technical reasons and consistency of approach to award to a different provider would be detrimental to the service outcomes. New value of contract awarded include a higher estimated total value based on the grant received for this year. Any variations of the contract will be conditional on receiving grant funding and Cabinet approval as initially advertised.
