## Summary

The Gloucestershire County Council has awarded a contract for the extension of post-diagnostic support services for autistic adults to Gloucestershire Rural Council and Communities (GRCC). The contract, initiated through a tender process, involves the supply of health and social work services under a limited procurement method. The contract extension, with a value of £100,000 GBP, was signed on 28th February 2024, and will last for an additional 12 months, following an unsuccessful competitive bidding process that led to modifying the existing contract.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the health and social work services sector to engage with Gloucestershire County Council. Companies focusing on providing post-diagnostic support to autistic adults can benefit from competing for this service contract with GRCC. The procurement stage involved an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, highlighting the Council's requirement for specific services that necessitated in-term modifications to meet their needs effectively.

## Notice

To vary the terms of the contract with Gloucestershire Rural Council and Communities (GRCC) due to expire on 31 March 2024, for the provision of the supply of post-diagnostic support to autistic adults for the purposes of extending its term by a further period of 12 months.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

To vary the terms of the contract with Gloucestershire Rural Council and Communities (GRCC) due to expire on 31 March 2024, for the provision of the supply of post-diagnostic support to autistic adults for the purposes of extending its term by a further period of 12 months.

### Procurement Information

The Community Autism Support and Advice (CASA) Service underwent a competitive Invitation to Tender process on, 16 October 2023. The tender closed on Friday, 17 November 2023. There was initially a good level of interest expressed, however bids that were subsequently submitted were not deemed sufficient to meet Council requirements. The extension to the current contract will be made using the legal route permitted under Regulation 72 (1) (b) of Public Contracts Regulations 2015. There are specific provisions which enable the Council to make in-term modifications to a contract, such as varying its term, if changing the supplier is not feasible due to economic or technical reasons (e.g., requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing services) and if such a change would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the Council.
