  • Change A modification to the contract with Touchstone-Leeds is required to enable continued delivery of the Live Well Leeds service - a Community Based Mental Health Service, while the Working Age Adults (WAA) Commissioning Team completes a full service review and consults on any revised model to ensure it remains fit for purpose, and a change of provider cannot be made on economic grounds and would cause substantial duplication of costs to the Council. The end date of the contract will be modified for a period of an additional twelve months. This will give the Council time to complete its full-service review. The total cost of the additional 12 month period until 31st March 2025 will be a maximum of £1,274,541.5 which includes a 5% efficiency saving that has been applied. The figure also includes a sum of £138,896 from Children's Services for work delivered in the Early Help Hubs. The value of the proposed variation is £1,274,541.5, which equates to approximately 18% of the original contract value., Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The additional services for 12 months have become necessary to ensure a continuation of existing services while a full service review is being undertaken and allow appropriate consideration of the service model to be made, allowing sufficient time for a subsequent procurement exercise to be undertaken as required. The additional time is required to allow proper consideration of the service model to be undertaken, in order to be sure that the contract continues to meet the needs of the citizens of Leeds following the Covid-19 pandemic.  A change of provider would not be practicable for economic reasons.  To re-procure with a new provider for only 12 months instead of waiting for the full service review to be finalised will result in substantial duplication of costs for the Council.  The value of the proposed variation is £1,274,541.5, which equates to approximately 18% of the original contract value. Taking these figures into account, the modification of the contract by the addition of 12 months does not exceed 50% of the initial contract value.
