description
The Council intends to apply a short term extension to its existing contract for the provision of counselling services for young people aged 12-21 living in York. This extension is required to maintain continuity of provision while the Council undertakes a full review of children and young people's counselling services and aligns future commissioning with the Humber and North Yorkshire Mental Health Strategic Transformation Plan 2025-2030.
The current service was originally awarded in 2019 to York Mind following a competitive procurement for a 16-25 counselling service. A subsequent service level agreement piloted counselling for 12-15 year olds, including 1 1 art therapy. The contracting authority intends to award a contract for 12-21 Counselling Service.
The Contracting Authority is not awarding a new contract. This VEAT notice is in respect of a proposed short-term extension to the term of its contract for the provision of 12-21 counselling service. See sections 2.2.3 for further details.
The contract was varied to incorporate the 12-15 service and extend the 16-25 service for a further year, creating a unified 12-21 counselling service, supported by a £10k contribution from the ICB.
The proposed extension will allow sufficient time for:
| • | a full review of CYP counselling provision |
| • | alignment with statutory duties and system wide responsibilities |
| • | development of an integrated commissioning model with the ICB |
| • | a robust procurement process and evaluation for a longer term solution |
The contract extension period: is 12 months beyond the extension period originally set out in the contract.
