Decision details

This report sets out a recommendation, following completion of a tender process conducted in accordance with the County Council's standing orders, to approve the award of a contract for the delivery of the county-wide Children and Young People's Substance Misuse Service.

It is intended that the contract will run for an initial period of three years, with an option to extend for two years, with a further option to extend for an additional two years. However, if it so chooses, LCC may extend the contract by any number of defined periods subsequent to the initial three years, provided that the total maximum duration of the contract does not exceed seven years.

The total budget allocation for this service is £7.7m.

County Councillor Azhar Ali, the Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing approved the recommendation as set out in the full report.

The full report is not available for publication as it contains exempt information as defined in Paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972. The report contains information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information). It is considered that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
