Financial and procurement implications

The duration of the new contract will be for a maximum of 10 years.  This will enable Leeds to meet the new 10 year national drug strategy, support the recommendations of the Dame Carol Black review, provide surety and consistency of service to clients and support workforce recruitment, development and retention.  
 
The value of the new contract will be in the region of £193 million and is dependent on the amount of external investment secured and the scope of the new integrated drug and alcohol service.  The funding will be a mixture of public health grant that Leeds City Council receives combined with non-recurrent grant funding from OHID to deliver the 10 year strategy.
