Procurement Information

The Authority believes that the decision to award a new contract to Humankind Charity for the provision of an All Age Community Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Service is permitted pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The section below sets out the technical reasons required by Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) that the Authority would rely on to justify its decision. (i) In February 2022, OHID announced significant new investment (through the SSMTR Grant) which is aimed at delivering a world-class treatment and recovery system, through rebuilding local drug treatment and recovery services, over the life of the new national 10-year drug strategy. The only option available to the Authority to effectively implement this change immediately in line with the grant requirements, was to work with the existing well-performing providers, and the proposals described within this notice will enable this joint work to continue and build on the investment already completed in 2022/23. (ii)In addition to the funding confirmed for 2022/23, OHID announced increased indicative amounts for 2023/2024 and 2024/2024. The Council, working with the existing provider and key local partners, were required to develop an effective 3-year plan to implement the funding (including a recruitment and workforce strategy). New contractual arrangements with the existing provider are therefore required to implement the final year of this plan and deliver the intended targets, outcomes and requirements of the national drug strategy in addition to achieving best value. This will enable the joint work to continue and build on the investment already allocated. (iii) Humankind Charity is best placed to ensure this collaboration continues and services are developed so that the Council can effectively deliver the strategy ambitions and meet people's needs at a local level within the specified timescales of the grant funding. As a registered social landlord Humankind Charity also has extensive experience of delivering Multiple and Complex Needs Supported Accommodation services in Barnsley and other areas. (iv)The long-term contractual arrangements described within this notice align with the timescales of the new national strategy, provides certainty to the drug and alcohol workforce and drives innovation within the service. In addition, it provides both the Council, key partners and Humankind Charity the opportunity to strengthen integration and partnership work within the local health system and other partnership structures / arrangements. (V)This proposal enables Barnsley to continue to benefit from a high-performing service, whilst preventing significant disruption to service users. It is well-documented and evidenced at a regional and national level, that service performance drops when significant contractual changes occur. This would also cause a loss of value and momentum to the joint development work that has already taken place, along with the risk of not achieving the strategy requirements and outcomes. (VI) A competitive procurement process and potential change of service provider would result in a disruption to the relationships and programmes that the contract has developed at a time when a seamless, integrated approach is critical. Change of contractor would cause significant inconvenience, disruption for service users and staff and/or substantial duplication of costs. The incumbent provider is meeting the current outcomes and performance indicators associated with the contract and can scale up service delivery to meet the extra capacity requirements of this additional funding. Not directly awarding the contract could negatively impact the delivery of drug and alcohol treatment as described and require implementing a contingency arrangement resulting in significant difficulty and duplication of costs.
