Purpose

To seek approval from the Assistant Chief
Executive – Local Engagement, Rachel Joyce, for the
procurement of the Children and Young People’s Therapeutic
Service
The current contract is due to expire on 30 September 2025, with no
options to extend the current agreement, therefore a procurement
exercise must commence to ensure continuity of service.
The funding envelope for this contract will move from
£300,000 to £400,000 over three years (2 + 1 year
extension).
This will be met with the following funding:
Existing Council funding for this contract is £240,000 over
three years (2 + 1 year extension)
MHCLG Grant fund injection of £160,000 over three years (2 +
1 year extension)

Decision

Over the last five years North Yorkshire
County Council, and now North Yorkshire Council, has commissioned
services for a cohort of children and young people. The current
service contract will expire on 30 September 2025 and therefore a
new contract to ensure service continuation is required.
