CRIME AND DRUG PARTNERSHIP CONTRACT APPROVAL - KEY DECISION Report of the Director of Commissioning and Procurement, the Director of Public Health and the Director of Strategy and Policy Additional documents:
Minutes: Christine Oliver, Head of Commissioning, presented a report on the Crime and Drugs Partnership Contract Approval. The committee agreed that there was sound justification for all of the recommendations and that the proposals aimed to save money.
RESOLVED to:
(1) Approve the extension of the “Drug and Alcohol Inpatient” contract identified in appendix 1 of the report to ensure continuity of services;
(2) Grant dispensation from Contract Procedure Rule 5.1.2 in accordance with Financial Regulation 3.29, to award a contract for the “Criminal Justice Treatment Service” identified in appendix 1 of the report to ensure continuity of specialist services;
(3) Grant dispensation from Contract Procedure Rule 5.1.2, in accordance with Financial Regulation 3.29, to award a contract for “Pharmacy Needle Exchange Provisions” identified in appendix 1 of the report to ensure continuity of specialist services;
(4) Approve the internal transfer of the specified element of the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) budget to Community Protection as set out in appendix 2of the report;
(5) Delegate authority to the Head of Procurement and Contracts to sign contracts arising from recommendations 1, 2 and 3 above.
Reasons for decision
(1) By approving the recommendation set out in the report it will allow essential services to continue to help citizens of Nottingham City.
(2) By granting dispensation of Contract Rule 5.12 as detailed above it will allow for timely contract variations and extensions to be achieved ensuring continuity of service provision.
(3) Agreeing the transfer of PCC funding to Community protection will allow the Council to meet the terms of the grant allocation to the Crime and Drugs Partnership for 2017/18.
Other options considered
Competitive tendering for the services discussed was considered but was rejected due to their specialist nature. There is an ongoing review of pathways taking place with local partners looking at changes in level of demand and stability of provision. Competitive tender at this point would not guarantee continuity of service.
Another option considered was the cancellation of the services discussed. This was rejected due to the impact on the CDP’s overall aims to reduce substance misuse and crime. |

Minutes: Christine Oliver, Head of Commissioning, presented a report on the Nottingham City Council (NCC) and Nottingham City Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) commissioning priorities 2017-18.

Reasons for decision
(1) This action will establish the work programme for NCC and the CCG which will enable resources to be allocated effectively.
Other options considered
