  • Change Provision of additional services during the course of Years 4 and 5 for the sum of up to £2,814,346.00 The original lifetime value of the Contract of 10 years (5 years + 5 year extension) was £39,036,436.00 therefore 25% of this value is £9,759,109.00. Under Regulation 13(1)(d) of the PSR enables the Council to make modifications to a contract provided the following two conditions are met: (a) The modification does not render the contract materially different in character AND (b) The cumulative change in the lifetime value of the contract since it was entered into is: i) below £500K; OR ii) less than 25% of the lifetime value of the original contract when it was entered into. The increase in contract value after following the modification is less than 25% of the lifetime value of the original contract., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: On the 22nd March 2024 the Government confirmed the Council would receive further funding pursuant to s31 of the Local Government Act 2003 to fund Year 2 of the Substance Misuse Prevention, Treatment & Recovery Project ('SSMTR Project'). A Memorandum of Understanding was entered into on the 28th March with the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities (OHID). A substantial proportion of the funding is to be used to increase services provided under the Contract with Turning Point to be selected from OHID's 'Menu of Interventions'. The funding is to be used for investment in drug & alcohol services to aid recovery for those with substance misuse problems by treating addiction as a chronic health condition, breaking down stigma, saving lives, and substantially breaking the cycle of crime that addiction can drive. The current Contract has a wide ambit of services. Turning Point is responsible for the delivery of drug prevention, treatment and recovery and is the only provider currently delivering drug treatment services in the Wakefield District. Service provision includes pharmacological and psychosocial interventions, harm reduction provision, diversionary activities and recovery support, all of which are expected to be enhanced as part of the SSMTR Project. The extra services are interdependent on the current provision and will be integrated within the current provision. Turning Point is already delivering a system wide approach to drug treatment and recovery with established pathways and information sharing agreements in place with a range of partners, which is crucial to the success of the Project, including employment, housing and criminal justice partners. Turning Point has a dedicated criminal justice team already linked to custody, court and prison services and is delivering diversionary activities to those drug users in the criminal justice system.
