Purpose

The purpose of this report is to recommend an extension of a current Housing related support service contract for vulnerable single adults with medium to high support needs in Camden. The recommendation is to extend the current arrangement for a period of up to 12 months. Officers are proposing an extension of the current contract for a period of up to 12 months from October 1st 2026 at a value of up to £2,200,000.  

In accordance with Contract Standing Order E2.1, the Executive Director, Homes and Communities can authorise the variation to extend the contract as it falls outside the terms of the contract, but it requires approval of a waiver to implement it by the relevant Cabinet Member in line with Contract Standing Order F3.4. A separate report seeking approval of the waiver will therefore be submitted to the Cabinet Member for Better Homes and Homelessness Prevention. The officer element of the waiver approval will be sought via the online waiver process. 

Decision

THAT the Executive Director Homes and Communities: 

1. Notes the performance of the contract 
2. Approves the variation to extend the contract for a period of up to 12 months for the maximum value of £2,200,000
