Decision Maker: Cabinet

Outcome:

Is Key Decision?: Yes

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose:

Content: The Cabinet considered a report of the Executive Director (Adults and Communities) setting out the tendering process for the recommission of domestic abuse services for victims, survivors and perpetrators across Essex (Southend, Essex and Thurrock).   Resolved:   That authority be delegated to the Executive Director (Adults and Communities), in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Social Care and Healthier Communities to award contracts to those providers who are successful following the procurement and evaluation process, and to conclude any necessary documentation.    Reasons for decision:   The tender closes on Wednesday 27 November 2024, with evaluations taking place until Tuesday 17 December 2024 and will require significant work to be completed during the mobilisation stage as there are TUPE implications and accommodation moves to consider if a new provider is appointed.  The current governance dates do not align with the tender timeline and therefore delegated authority is required.   Other options:   None   Note: This is an Executive Function. Not eligible for call-in Cabinet Member: Cllr Sadza  

Date of Decision: November 18, 2024
