RESOLVED:
That the Cabinet:
1. Accepts a single tender from Comfort Care Services (UK) Ltd for the provision of a Mental Health Crisis House Service to the London Borough of Hillingdon for the period 4th April 2022 to the 2nd April 2023 at a cost of £625,000.
2. Furthermore, agrees that this includes the provision to extend the contract for up to a further 12 months, delegating approval of any extension to the Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Health and Social Care, in consultation with the Corporate Director of Social Care and Health.
Reasons for decision
Cabinet accepted a single tender to deliver a crisis house for adults with mental health needs, noting that the pilot scheme would provide intensive, short-term support for people in a community setting in order to aid their recovery and help reduce the likelihood of future crises.
Alternative options considered and rejected
Cabinet could have decided to competitively tender the service, but considered this not the most appropriate route to procure at this particular time.
