Reasons for the

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 July 2022. 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 2023that 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.
