Decision details

Proposed extension of contracts with DISC and CRI for provision of the Drug Intervention Programme (DIP)/Integrated Offender Management (IOM) services

The Director of Environment & Housing approved the invocation of Contracts Procedure Rule 21.1 to enter into a 12 month contract extension with DISC and CRI for provision of the DIP/IOM services pending the outcome of the offender review. 

The extension period for both contracts will run from 1st October 2014 to  30th September 2015 with no further option to extend.  The cost for each service will be:

CRI - DIP/IOM Service£728,678 (comprising £114,178 E&H, £614,500 PCC/PH)

DISC - DIP/IOM Service £466,629 (comprising £99,344 E&H, £367,285 PCC/PH) 

The combined total contract value for the 12 month period of these extensions is therefore £1,195,307.

Further work will be undertaken with providers and key partners during the extension period in order to respond to new and emerging priorities for the provision of DIP/IOM locally.  Proposals for the remodelling and/or re-commissioning of these services will be the subject of a further report.

This is an interim measure pending a broader review of service delivery which will include all stakeholders and service users.
