The report sought approval to procure new residential rehabilitation services for adults affected by drug and alcohol misuse in Brighton and Hove. It recommended advertising the services through a Prior Information Notice, with three-year contracts and possible two-year extensions, while allowing current contracts to be extended briefly if needed.

Recommendation

Advertise residential rehabilitation services through a Prior Information Notice as a call for competition; delegate authority to the Executive Director of Health & Adult Social Care to extend current contracts for the shortest possible period if required; and delegate authority to undertake the procurement and award the subsequent contracts.

Financial impact

The total cost of the new services would be up to £2,684,750. The net budget is £0.537 million in 2021/22, with funding anticipated to be available up to March 2025.
