Notice Title

Provision of managed extra care services at Assisi Place in Hunslet and Yew Tree and Rosewood Court in Moor Allerton

Notice Description

The decision will see commissioning officers enter the next stage of discussions with Methodist Homes (MHA) around the ongoing contractual arrangements for extra care service provision at the two schemes they operate in Leeds resulting in the direct award of a contract under Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 - negotiated procedure without prior publication of a notice. These two schemes - Assisi Place in Hunslet and Yew Tree and Rosewood Court in Moor Allerton - came about through joint working between Leeds City Council (LCC) and MHA. The sites are developed on LCC land and are owned and operated by MHA. LCC holds a percentage of nomination rights to apartments at both schemes which provides the Council with a right to identify and place people in apartments. The contracts will recognise MHA's position as the onsite provider for both schemes and cover the instances where people elect to receive planned care and support from the onsite provider.

Procurement Information

32 (2) The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts in any of the following cases:- (b) where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons:- (ii) competition is absent for technical reasons,... but only, in the case of paragraph (ii)..., where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists, and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement;" The services are delivered at sites at which LCC holds nomination rights. Both sites are owned and operated by MHA with LCC's access to the sites being through nominations agreements which permit LCC to place people into apartments covered by these services. The nomination agreements as written see the level of access drop from 100% of the identified apartments to 75% of identified apartments, with the onsite provision covering both the apartments LCC has access to as well as the apartments outside of this access. This is even more pertinent as the 75% nomination rights are abided by moving forward. Current and future service users will have the choice to opt out of receiving planned care from the on-site provider delivering care at each scheme. Applying unfettered choice and control to the onsite 24/7 staffing is impractical and not viable but is also not funded by LCC. At both schemes the existing tenants have opted to receive any planned care and support from MHA as the on-site provider as part of their ability to utilise their personal choice in respect of their care and support provider. This approach will ensure MHA remain a care provider option as a part of that choice.

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.
