Why this procedure was chosen
On the 23rd July 2024, Cabinet delegated approval of the Commissioning/Procurement Strategy and Contract Award for the future service provision for the Adults Drug and Alcohol Treatment Service post 30th September 2025 to the Director of Public Health, in conjunction with the Cabinet Member for Health and Social Care. Addictions Team leads held internal challenge meetings on the Procurement approach and strategy, ensuring robustness challenge from colleagues external to the department. On the 31st January 2025, the Chief Officer report was published approving the Procurement approach. Decision Making for the approval of Direct Award (Process C) in relation to Birmingham City's Drug & Alcohol Service was approved by Director of Public Health in conjunction with the Director of Commercial & Procurement (or their delegate) Executive Director of Finance and Section 151 Officer (or their delegate) and the Director of Legal & Monitoring Officer (or their delegate). Final approval was gained on 9th September 2025. Commissioners involved this re-procurment from designing to contract award were asked to declare any known conflicts of interest before participating in re-commissioning activity or making any recommendations. No conflicts of interest were identified among individuals involved in making the decision in relation to this service. The Council has carefully considered all Key Criteria in its decision to award this contract. To build confidence in the Provider's ability to deliver the service effectively against the Key Criteria, the Council adopted a two-stage evaluation process: Initial submission review, followed by Structured feedback, enabling the Provider to demonstrate quality and ongoing alignment with the Council's strategic priorities. This approach ensured a robust, transparent, and outcome-focused process, supporting the delivery of high-quality, inclusive, and sustainable services for the community. In recognition of emerging needs and priority areas the Council incorporated additional evaluation criteria to ensure the service remains relevant and responsive to local health challenges. As part of the Direct Award C process, evaluation has also included an assessment of the Provider's performance against the UK Government's Quality Commissioning Standards for Alcohol and Drug Services https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/commissioning-quality-standard-alcohol-and-drug-services. These standards serve as a benchmark for ensuring quality, safety, and effectiveness in service delivery.
