- Review procedure
The authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated. This period allows organisations to seek further information from the contracting authority before the contract is entered into.
Such additional information should be requested from the addressee found in I.1. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). 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. Following the correct implementation of a 10 day standstill period and publication of appropriate notices the court may only award damages once the contract has been entered into.

- Change There are no changes in the service delivery. The modification seeks to modify the contract values and length for 12 months. This will enable the work of a strategic review, remodelling, and re-procurement to be carried out during 2025-2027 with minimum disruption to current delivery., Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: This modification is essential to maintain services for women who are sex working and homeless or at risk, during the strategic review. Since the 2023 contract start, delivery costs have risen significantly, mainly due to staff wages. Increased living costs and higher employer National Insurance contributions make the current contract value unsustainable. A full needs analysis is required to define the service's strategic role in homelessness, health, and wellbeing outcomes. Funding comes annually from Communities, Housing & Environment, Public Health, Safer Stronger Communities, and Leeds ICB budgets. Budget uncertainty across these four holders requires more time for review and confirmation before re-procurement. The proposed increase follows provider evidence and efficiency measures; it ensures safe continuity of high-demand services. Disruption must be avoided as service users present growing needs and complexities. A wider Housing Related Support review will occur before the contract ends in 2027. Modifying now aligns this service with future government funding decisions and the 2025-26 spending review.
