Legal Justification

32 (2) The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts in any of the following cases:- (b) where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons:- (ii) competition is absent for technical reasons,... but only, in the case of paragraph (ii)..., where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists, and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement; It is considered the above ground applies in this case as there is strong evidence that no reasonable alternative to Methodist Homes Association providing the services exists for the following reasons: The scheme is located at a site at which LCC holds nomination rights. This also ties LCC into the onsite provider which is covered by Methodist Homes Association and third parties are not permitted to run service provisions within the site. As such LCC is tied to the provider at this sites. Current tenants have the choice to opt out of receiving care from the on-site provider delivering care at their establishment as part of the block contracting arrangement. The tenants have opted to continue to receive care and support from the on-site provider as part of their ability to utilise their personal choice in respect of their care and support provider. The intention is to further empower individual choice over the provider of planned care and support at the schemes and ensure people's existing provider is part of that choice. A review of the Leeds Model of Extra Care has commenced as part of the wider approach to commissioning home care in the city, following which it is likely that changes will need to be considered when establishing new longer-term contracts with extra care providers. The direct award will help ensure the tenant's current provider is a part of this work. The changes to be introduced as part of the wider home care work are anticipated to be finalised by Spring 2024. The direct award is intended to facilitate the predicted work needed to bring extra care closer in line with home care. This review and wider home care work will determine the commissioning arrangements for extra care which will then be implemented following the conclusion of all this work. The ongoing work will determine how care time is defined and purchased. The intention is to bring all extra care schemes under the same purchasing model and for that model to work in line with the wider home care arrangements, which should introduce improvements for service users
