Procurement Information
This VEAT notice explains our rationale and intentions regarding the extending of our existing contract with Developing Health & Independence (DHI) with effect from 1st April 2022. During this extension we will work with providers to developing the market, with the aim of gaining their views and to collaborate with them to ensure that future provision meets the needs of those accessing services. Our plan is to work with key stakeholder including providers as experts in the field, along with people who have lived experience and who use our services to develop future service specifications. This collaboration will put us in a good position for our next round of commissioning. DHI is the Council's commissioned provider for SGDAS, their performance has been maintained at a high level, in both quality and Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and there has been no cause for concern in the competence of DHI in delivering the contract. There is significant learning to be gained and understood from the impact of the changes made as a direct result of COVID-19. In order to embed any good practice or positive change so we can offer the widest possible range of services to those that need them most we should ensure that none of this is lost through a rushed recommissioning process. In order to effectively commission or recommission services, at least 18 months to 2 years is needed for a full commissioning cycle of this nature, with engagement of stakeholders. This is true for a normal recommissioning cycle, where the plan is to commission a similar service to that which already exists. The feedback from the engagement that took place for both the alcohol and drug needs assessments, indicate that significant reconfiguration of our services is needed in order to meet the needs of our population. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that it will take a longer time to shape and co-produce service specifications with our relevant partners as well as the people who use our services. We are also likely to need a longer mobilisation period once the contract has been awarded to ensure there is time to embed any new structure with potentially new providers and co-funders. The recommissioning of these services is both costly and time consuming. It also risks stability of the service as a whole, including continuity of service provision and treatment and support for existing and new service users. The COVID-19 crisis has been a time of extreme instability and flux, with commissioners and services needing to be extremely flexible and adapt to change in exceptionally fast timescales. It therefore makes sense to allow a further period of stability to follow, to enable services to settle and not be forced immediately into a recommissioning process, which is extremely destabilising for services and consequently staff and people who both use and deliver those services. Acting under delegated authority and within the provisions of Rule 8 of the South Gloucestershire Council's Contracting Rules, an extension has been approved to the current contract with the provider Developing Health and Independence (DHI) for a period of up to two years, on a one plus one year basis, from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023/4 to provide ongoing delivery of the Provision of Substance Misuse Services in South Gloucestershire
