Brief Description of
Decision:
 
 

 
The officer decision confirms
the decision to make the contract variation to the existing CGL
contract.  This funding is a part of the
Supplementary Substance Misuse Treatment & Recovery Grant
(SSMTRG). The
contract period was 1st July 2022 to the 31st March
2023.
 
Details of the
contract will be made available on the Council’s
contracts register,
Contracts Finder and Find a
Tender.
 

Reasons for the
Decision:
 
 

The grant
acceptance and associated activities were agreed in the Cabinet
paper of July 2022. Due to the ongoing
tender process, it was not possible to specify the service provider
in the Cabinet paper and as such Cabinet did not formally approve
this variation to the provider contract.
 
The commissioned
drug & alcohol treatment provider, CGL (up to the
31st March 2023, when the contract ends), continued to
provide activities and staff posts which commenced under the
previous PHE Universal Grant. Procurement confirmed that there
remained enough flexibility in the contract terms to allow for this
additional funding to be awarded to CGL for the specified
period.
This proposal was approved by Public Health Senior Management
Team on the 28th September 2022, and by Adult Care, Housing & Public
Health Directorate Leadership Team on the 4th
October 2022.
