Permission to set aside the requirements of
the Contract Procedure Rules to tender for above £40,000
services namely; 2 x full-time Outreach Navigators via Freedom
Community Alliance at the cost of £75,000 over a 12 month
period.
North Devon Council have been successful in drawing down an
additional £357,600 from Government following a submission to
the Rough Sleepers Initiative
This project is aimed at reducing the number of people rough
sleeping in North Devon.
The aim of the programme is to provide enhanced and better
integrated services to individuals who present with multiple and
complex needs. This includes the provision of more resources (2.0
Outreach Navigators- two continuation posts) from Freedom Community
Alliance who currently provide the Navigator service.
Following successful award of the bid NDC were issued with a
funding structure from Government. This structure highlighted
immediate service delivery as of the 01.04.2021 and without this
approval we are unable to proceed and will be at risk of having to
return the funding.
The financial award made through the bid covers full costs of
service delivery
