Together Drug and Alcohol specialist attached
to the Rough Sleeper service

I can confirm that the contract terms which will be used for this
contract will be the Council’s standard terms and conditions
for goods and services or (where relevant) works or, where this is
not the case, I have sought the approval of Legal Services to the
alternative terms and conditions that I propose to use for this
contract.

The proposal is to award the contract to Together Drug and Alcohol
Services (Waythrough).

Reasons for the decision

In accordance with paragraph 12 of the
Council’s Contract Procedures Rules, quotations should be
obtained from more than one supplier using a request for quotation
(RFQ) and the quote evaluated as successful, in compliance with the
evaluation criteria in the RFQ, should be accepted. In the
alternative officers may consider running an open tender process in
accordance with paragraph 13 of the Contract Procedure
Rules.

Alternative options considered

I can confirm that, despite non-compliance
with the requirements of paragraph 12.1 of the Contract Procedure
Rules the award of this contract to the above supplier will be best
value for the Council for the following reason(s):
The approved funding is based on an enhanced service provision from
the existing supplier of Drug and Alcohol services in the area.
There is no other recognised specialist service operating in the
area.
