Hyas Associates have been providing ongoing
capacity support to the South West Herts JSP programme since 2021.
This has been procured utilising a Certificate of Authorisation
with a contract ceiling of £74,999. Looking ahead to the work
programme for 2024/25 and 2025/26, this cost ceiling will likely be
exceeded within the next two months. Given the desire of the JSP
programme team to facilitate continuity of support from Hyas
Associates, procurement advice is that the most appropriate route
to appointing Hyas Associates to continue to provide this support
would be to use the Bloom Consultancy Framework. This framework
works on a direct award to Bloom (a NEPO framework) who will
coordinate a quote from Hyas Associates to continue to support the
JSP programme.
Approval to use Bloom award a contract for to
provide Project Management advice and additional resource capacity
for a fifteen (15) months period to Hyas Associates
