Description: 1. Following confirmation from the Department of Health and Social Care in December 2025 of the inclusion within the Public Health Grant of ringfenced funding for drug and alcohol prevention, treatment and recovery from 2026/27 to 2028/29 that was previously provided to DCC in separate grants, the following components of the CDDARS contract are to be extended from 1 April 2026 to 30 September 2028: a.

Rough Sleepers Drug and Alcohol Treatment (RSDAT): a team that comprises 1.0 WTE Mental Health Nurse, 1.0 WTE Domestic Abuse Worker, 1.0 WTE Workforce Development Worker, and 3.0 WTE Recovery Outreach Workers. 2. The net impact on the contract value of the above modifications is therefore an increase of £1,048,274. Original Contract Price Awarded £20,012,171. Previously agreed modifications to the contract increased the Contract Price by £1,121,671. Increase the agreed Contract Price by a further £1,048,274 in respect of this modification.
Rationale: Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: This modification is permitted under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 as the original contract, which commenced in August 2024, stipulated in relation to the IPD, IPS and RSDAT grants that "Posts/interventions from the following grants are incorporated within this contract until 31 March 2025 and may be extended depending upon confirmation of future funding" and "The annual value for the CDDARS may be increased if additional external and/or grant funding is secured by the Commissioner during the contract term for interventions that are consistent with the aim and objectives of the service."
