Contract Extension for Semi – independent support service. Widecombe/Park End.

Permission to award a contract extension for 18 months for the Semi- Independent Support Service Widecombe/Park End. The extension will be from 1/9/2024 - 28/2/2026.

In order to avoid the need for a future waiver a procurement process will

commence in December 2024 giving us sufficient time to tender, award and

mobilise the new contract. This work will include completing a PIF and then

working with procurement to develop a procurement plan along with the support of a Project Board to produce the key tender documents and evaluate the bids.
