Procedure rationalePeople using the Service have multiple and complex needs, including mental and physical health problems, along with a history of homelessness and rough sleeping. The environment can become challenging, requiring interventions by staff and security to ensure the service remains a safe environment. GCA have delivered security with the Provider, for several years at different services. They are highly experienced in dealing with this client group and diffusing situations in a sensitive manner. Without this continued security provision, the Service would not be viable in managing ongoing risk issues.
Continuing with GCA is vital as they have experience of working with the complexities of this client group and maintaining the balance of supervision and security of people who are vulnerable but also can present risk to others. At present, we are not aware of any other security companies who would have the same experience of providing security in a sensitive way in emergency and supported accommodation. GCA are uniquely placed based on their experience of providing security in buildings that house people in need of emergency and supported housing who have complex needs.
The service provided by GCA offers value for money in terms of providing a competitive hourly rate with no management or travel costs added to the costs. Without this presence the Service would be unable to operate safely, and with insufficient existing staff resource to compensate for any lack of on-site security and supervision.
Award of this contract will allow continuity whilst longer term options are considered for the Service. |
