Report by Director for Adult Social Care

The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to:

 

a)    Agree that the Council extend the HOWDAB2 Supported Living contracts Lot 1, 2, 4, 8 and 9 currently delivered by Brandon Trust. The extension will be for a further 44 days, from 14 September 2026 to 27 October 2026. This will maintain continuity of support while the Council undertakes a further tender process for Lot 4, Lot 8 and Lot 9 following the outcome of the previous procurement exercise. The extension for Lots 1 and 2 will allow mobilisation and contract start dates to be aligned with the Lot 4, 8 and 9 replacement contracts, without requiring a further tender process for those lots.

 

b)   Note that the Director of Adult Social Care has already approved a 44-day extension from 1 August 2026 to 13 September 2026 under delegated decision arrangements. This was to allow additional time for the procurement process for HOWDAB2 Supported Living contracts Lot 1, 2, 4, 8 and 9 and full mobilisation of the replacement contracts.
