Decision details
Extension of Bristol Youth Hub Contract (Young People) with 1625 Independent People.
Decision Maker: Executive Director: Growth and Regeneration
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
On 3 March 2022 Cabinet authorised the
Executive Director Growth and Regeneration to extend the Bristol
Youth Hub (known as MAPS) contract for a period up until 30
September 2024. The contract was initially extended for a period of
only 6 months until 31 March 2023 to enable a review of the
contract specification in the light of required new changes to
recording and joint working. The contract was then extended for a
further 12 months to align the recommissioning of a Youth Hub with
the accommodation contracts within the Young People’s Housing
Pathway. However Childrens Services requested that the current
contract be extended for a further six months (until procurement
compliant end date of September 2024) to enable a government funded
consultant to advice on remodelling to maximise the effectiveness
of this service and to embed implementation of the new Joint
Protocol.
A fresh report with the outcome of the consultancy work, will then
be brought to February 2024 Cabinet to identify open tendering
options for a youth hub service going forward.
Decision:
The decision is to extend the Bristol Youth
Hub contract with 1625 Independent People for provision of the MAPS
service, as part of the Young People’s Housing
Alternative options considered:
Option 1 - The option to tender for a new
Youth Hub service to start in April 2024 was delayed because it
stifled the opportunity for an external consultant
