Officer Decision to award a Call Off
arrangement referenced as a ‘Work Order’ to We Are
With You (WY) via the Non-core Framework
Agreement, to deliver the additional activities required in the
utilisation of the Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Grant
(DATRIG) 2025/26.
 

Reasons for the Decision:

The decision is being made in accordance with
the Council’s  Constitution
Appendix 1, Executive Procedure Rules, Part 3, 7(4)(i) decisions which are a direct consequence of
implementing a previous key decision and were contemplated by the
decision maker when the original key decision was made;
 
The decision is made in
order to deliver the additional service capacity described
in the Cabinet paper of March 2025. WY are the Councils sole
provider of the pathway for Alcohol and Drugs services.
 
The Core Contract and Non-Core Framework were
awarded following an openly advertised competitive procurement
process undertaken in line with the Social and Other Specific
Services provision of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as
amended).The award of the Work Order uses the Non-Core Framework,
which permits the commissioning of additional activity as
described.
 
The services specified in the Work Order are
health care services that fall within the procurement regime
established by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime)
Regulations 2023 that came into effect on 1st January
2024.
 
Although this decision is made after the
1st of January 2024, the Officer has been advised that
the saving transitional arrangements set out in Regulation 29(3) of
the PSR Regs will apply to it and that
they are satisfied. It follows that although the contract has been
called off under a framework agreement made under the Public
Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended), it is valid under the
Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations
2023.
