The Interim Provision Service (IPS) has
increased overall this year by a significant amount due to the
demand for its services by children and young people which is
continuous. To implement a competitive process at this stage would
impact on the continuation of the services which is already being
provided under the Letter of Agreement and would not be an
efficient use of the Council’s resources.
The proposed provider already has been identified as having the
relevant experience of providing the services and has the
established stakeholder relationships and infrastructure in place
in order to successfully deliver the service requirements.
