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.
