Three further awards of contracts are recommended following these price reductions.   Service 2 – Home and community-based support services Following clarifications on needs and inputs with bidder G, the cost of the recommended contract award to provide 700 hours of services within the Orthodox Jewish community has been reduced from £14,000 to £13,860 per year.   Service 3 – Holiday playschemes and activities Following clarifications on needs and inputs with bidder V: <ul> <li class="MsoNormal">The cost of the recommended contract award to provide their high-needs (1:1 supervision) holiday playscheme to 12 young people for two weeks has been reduced from £24,297 to £19,341 per year, a reduction of 20.4%.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">The cost of awarding a contract for their other holiday playscheme for young people with moderate needs has been reduced from £20,513 to £15,407 per year, a reduction of 24.9%. The main body of the RP4 explained that the quality of this tender was high but the price had been unfavourable. However, this reduction in price of nearly one-quarter makes the value for money of the service much more favourable and more in line with other bidders already recommended for contract awards, A contract award is therefore now recommended to bidder V for this reduced cost of £15,407, to provide the playscheme to 24 young people for two weeks. This comes from within the additional budget for a further possible contract award in this service area included in Exempt Appendix 3.</li> </ul>   Following clarifications on needs and inputs with bidder T, the cost of the recommended contract to provide 4,000 hours per year of holiday playschemes has been reduced from £88,000 to £77,760 per year.   Service 4 – Weekend clubs and activities Following clarifications on needs and inputs with bidder T, the cost of the recommended contract to provide 300 hours per year of holiday playschemes has been reduced from £6,600 to £5,832 per year.   Service 5 – After-school/evening clubs and activities Following clarifications on needs and inputs with bidder V: <ul> <li class="MsoNormal">The cost of awarding a contract for a Saturday evening club for disabled young people has been reduced from £35,298 to £27,151 per year, a reduction of 23.1%.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">The cost of awarding a contract for a weekly evening club focused on integration with mainstream youth clubs has been reduced from £40,545 to £28,378 per year, a reduction of 30%.</li> </ul>   The main body of the RP4 report explained that the quality of these tenders was high, but the prices had been unfavourable. However, these very substantial reductions in price make the value for money of the services much more favourable and more in line with other bidders already recommended for contract awards.
