Notice Title
EXTENSION TO CONTRACT - BENEFITS ADVICE SERVICE
Notice Description
The Mental Health Clinical Board has a requirement to extend the existing contract for the Benefits Advice Service. The Contract expiry is due on 31st March 2021 in line with the original contract award against Tender 16/2214. As a result of the COVID 19 pandemic, the Mental Health Clinical Board have had to realign priorities and respond to the situation and therefore have not had the time that was originally planned to work on the renewal Tender and therefore seek an annual extension.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The aim of the service is support for many people with mental health problems who find it difficult, or even impossible to cope with complicated money, debt and benefits issues which sometimes demand interviews or physical examinations as well as a great deal of form filling. Mental health problems can cause severe debt, and severe debt can cause mental health problems. The aim of this service contract is to deliver services to a vulnerable client group by reducing 'access' barriers and providing early intervention, to ensure that financial issues do not develop into debt, and as a consequence potential homelessness and to ensure income maximisation , through welfare benefit and debt advice, enabling access to a basic income.
Procurement Information
The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board wish to extend the existing contract with Riverside Advice for a 12 month period. The Health Board were not in a position to spend the time originally planned to re-tender the requirements due to the unexpected COVID 19 Pandemic and priorities within the Clinical Board having to change to respond appropriately to the situation. Furthermore by extending the 3rd Sector Contracts for an additional year will help to enable them to recover from Covid which in turn will help in re-stabilising their organisations. Work is now underway to prepare the necessary specification documents to allow a full Tender exercise to renew these contracts in line with this VEAT expiry. The extension will provide seamless service continuation.
