Procedure rationaleKent County Council will utilise PCR 2015 reg 32 (2) The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts (c) insofar as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with to award the contract
Both Volunteer Mentoring and Intensive Mentoring was commissioned by HeadStart Kent with the original contract commencing 2017. By way of response to escalating demand for this service (in part caused by the pandemic) in September 2021 (three months before the end of the contract) funding was secured from the Reconnect Programme. There is no capacity within the current contracts to award an extension. Any future contract provision would need to consider the TUPE of existing staff from the incumbent providers.Market testing confirmed that organisations would find the effort in tendering for a short contract significant when also needing to consider the implications of TUPE and mobilisation by 1 January 2022 to ensure continuity of provision for young people.
The Kent-based, incumbent VCS providers are able to meet the requirements of the new contract with immediate effect.
Without taking this action would mean referrals to the service would cease on 19 November 2022 and the impact on young people from the pandemic is still to be fully understood. |
