Content: To seek delegated authority to procure a Framework Agreement and call-off of contracts under it. These relate to the provision of behaviour change interventions for perpetrators of domestic abuse, i.e. the service known as Positive Relationships Gloucestershire (PRG). . Cllr Paul Hodgkinson sought delegated authority to procure a Framework Agreement and call-off of contracts under it. These relate to the provision of behaviour change interventions for perpetrators of domestic abuse, i.e. the service known as Positive Relationships Gloucestershire (PRG).   Having considered all of the information, Cabinet noted the report and   RESOLVED to:   Delegate authority to the Director of Public Health, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Public Health, Communities and Fire to:   1. Conduct a competitive procurement process in respect of a four-year single provider Framework Agreement for the supply of the council’s Positive Relationships Gloucestershire service. The Framework Agreement shall be awarded to one provider who will deliver services under the following Lots:   ·       Lot A: Core service delivery, perpetrator behaviour change and early response interventions. ·       Lot B: Local delivery of the ‘Drive Project’. ·       Lot C: Provision of specialist perpetrator training for professionals.   2. Appoint the preferred sole tenderer to this single provider Framework Agreement.   3. Award a call-off contract for the supply of the core service and intervention delivery under Lot A to the sole appointed supplier under the above Framework Agreement. The proposed call-off contract will continue for an initial period of four years and include an option to extend its term for a further period of two years on its fourth anniversary (i.e., four + two years), a separate Cabinet decision shall be sought to authorise the taking up of this extension. This call-off will include a break clause on its second anniversary.   4. Award, subject to the financial limit set out in the Resource Implications section of this Report below and any subsequent funding allocations, as many call-off contracts as may be required by the council under Lots A - C of the Framework Agreement and to also exercise any extension options under them. If the value of any individual proposed call-off contract exceeds £500,000, a separate key decision shall be sought to authorise this.   5. Enter into a Funding Agreement with the Gloucestershire Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) under which the council will receive a funding transfer from Gloucestershire OPCC for the purpose of part-funding (i.e., 30%) of the cost of the call-off contract described in Recommendation 3 (on the basis described in paragraph 15 of this report).   6. Enter into a s256 agreement with the Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB) under which the council will receive a funding transfer from the ICB for the purposes of part-funding (i.e., 18%) the cost of the call-off contract described in Recommendation 3 (on the basis described in paragraph 15 of this report).
