Minutes:

Councillor Krystle Fonyonga (Cabinet Member for Community Safety and Public Health) introduced the report of the Director of Health, Housing and Adult Social Care (No.160) seeking approval to the award of the substance misuse recovery service contract.

 

NOTED

 

1.               That Report No.162 also referred as detailed in Minute No.23 below.

 

2.               That the proposed contract award was the conclusion of a successful procurement process which would also result in savings for the Council, as detailed in the report; and, the opportunity for further efficiency savings moving forward.

 

3.               The proposed relocation of the family therapy services as set out in the report.

 

Alternative Options Considered: NOTED, that there had been no alternative option to tendering externally as Enfield Council was unable to directly provide such a specialist treatment service in-house, as outlined in full in section 4 of the report.

 

DECISION: The Cabinet agreed to

 

1.               Note that the tender process had adhered to Corporate Procurement Procedures, EU Procurement Regulations, and that the new contract would afford the Council with on-going annual savings of £225,448 and performance improvements.

 

2.               The award of the new contract to the preferred bidder, as outlined in the part two report (Minute No.22 below refers), for an initial period of three years, with options to extend on a consecutive basis of three years and two years, therefore, rolling up to a further five years, subject to satisfactory performance.

 

3.               Support a relocation of the family therapy service, which was a key element of this contract, to achieve £311,000 of on-going annual savings that were part of the overall planned reductions to the drug and alcohol budget of £585,000, subject to an acceptable property solution being realised.

 

Reason: NOTED, that the detailed reasons for the recommendations were set out in section 5 of the report.
