Transfer of contract responsibility from Oxfordshire County Council to Oxford City Council in respect of contract with the Mayday Trust for the provision of housing related support services for those who are homeless and substance misusers.

As set out in the spending proposals set out in report to the City Executive Board for its meeting on 20/03/18 on Allocation of Homelessness Prevention Funds 2018/19, this action will help to maintain and increase services for rough sleepers and single homeless people with a connection to the City of Oxford.

Agreement to transfer the contract as described.

No other option was considered as this was the most sensible way to facilitate continuation of an existing service in the face of County Council funding cuts. The contract runs until 31st January 2019, and options for extension or re-procurement via tender or a grant will be considered and confirmed later in 2018.
