To approve an extension to the existing contract for Offenders Supported Housing from September 2024 to September 2025
Approval has been given for the extension of the Offenders Supported Housing Services (RACSS) contract within the scope of the original contract, for a term of 12 months up to 30 September 2025.
Approval has been given to vary the remaining term of the Offenders Supported Housing Services (RACSS) contract to apply a 4.5% negotiated uplift to the remaining term of the contract to account for additional cost pressures beyond those initially anticipated in the tender.
RACSS is a countywide housing related support service for high and medium risk offenders. The purpose of the service is for those individuals supervised by the Probation Service-Yorkshire and Humber (PS-YatH) to maximise their potential for independence, sustain accommodation, access employment and significantly reduce the risk of re-offending. The Variation and Extension will allow the service to continue at capacity whilst work is completed to re-procure the service from 2025 onwards.
The alternative to applying an uplift to the contract would be to reduce the number of units available by 3-5 units. This would reduce the ability of the service to support individuals and promote good outcomes and was therefore discounted.
