Purpose

This report outlines the outcome of the procurement process
undertaken for the Learning Disabilities Floating and Community
Support service and seeks approval to award the contract to the
incumbent provider Centre 404 to deliver this
service. 
 
As part of the process, Centre 404 were required to respond to a
set of questions and complete a pricing schedule setting out
details of service-related costs. This was reviewed by a panel of
officers and clarification questions were sought where necessary.
Following the robust evaluation, it is recommended to award a
nine-month contract to Centre 404 who has a proven track record of
delivering quality services and working effectively with the
council. The contract will commence on 1st July 2024 for an
estimated value of £1,313,846. 
 
Floating and community support enables people to live
independently in their own home and is available to people with a
learning disability (PWLD) who have eligible needs under the Care
Act 2014. The model takes a strengths-based approach which is in
line with the commitments in the “Supporting People,
Connecting Communities” strategy and “We Make
Camden”. The Way We Work is the Council’s response to
We Make Camden. The service contributes to the commitments and
ambitions in the way the Council works to support its citizens by
promoting the inclusion and independence of PWLD in Camden and
prevent, reduce and delay the demand for long term social care
services.
 
This report is being presented to the Executive Director, Adults
and Health in line with Contract Standing Orders.
