    The matter was discussed by the Adult Social Care and Health Cabinet Committee on 11 October 2016, at which the committee resolved that the planned procurement processes for East Kent Misuse services be endorsed.

     

    The matter was further considered at the 6 December 2016 meeting of the Adult Social Care and Health Cabinet Committee, and the proceedings at that meeting were as follows:

     

    1.    Ms Sharp introduced the report and, in response to a question about the competitive tendering exercise, explained that past tendering exercises had shown the market for drug and alcohol services to be robust.  Many current providers were in the voluntary sector and were experienced within that service area and familiar with the County Council’s contracting process.

     

    2.    RESOLVED that:-

     

    a)    the progress of the procurement of the East Kent drug and alcohol service be noted; and

    b)    the decision proposed to be taken by the Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Public Health, to award the contract for East Kent drug and alcohol services to the successful bidder, following competitive tender, be endorsed.
