Decision details

Oldham Council, as part of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), is committed to continuing to deliver the A Bed Every Night (ABEN) initiative until 31st March 2022. Upon confirmation of funding to facilitate this a decision was taken by Oldham Council to continue contracting an external organisation to deliver the project.
Following a competitive tender process for the delivery of ABEN in Oldham, the successful tenderer was DePaul. This report therefore seeks authorisation to award the contract to DePaul.

RESOLVED - That:
Award the ABEN Phase 4 tender to DePaul UK

Option 1 Approve the recommendation in this paper: Award the tender to DePaul UK
Option 2 Do nothing: This would save time and staffing resources but would have repercussions. There has been a GM-wide agreement to deliver ABEN. It is therefore not recommended that this option is pursued.
