Basic Selection Criteria: (a) suitability to pursue a particular activity: Waythrough is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for the regulated activity of Treatment of disease, disorder or injury. The sub-contractor Spectrum Community Health C.I.C., which provides the clinical element of the service, is also CQC registered for the regulated activities of Treatment of disease, disorder or injury and Diagnostic and screening procedures. (b) economic and financial standing: As the provider of CDDARS, Waythrough has provided evidence that the following levels of insurance cover are met: • Employer's Liability Insurance = £5million • Public Liability Insurance = £5million • Professional Indemnity Insurance = £1million • Motor Vehicle Insurance = third party cover as a minimum, including business use (c) technical and professional ability: As the provider of CDDARS, Waythrough complies with the following requirements: • Written policies and procedures in relation to the Safeguarding of adults, children and young people, which conform with and meet the requirements of Durham County Council policies and procedures. • Registered as a data controller with the Information Commissioner's Office. • Compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulations and ensure the protection of the rights of data subjects. • All applicable employees and volunteers who are engaged on this Service have been subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check prior to their employment. Key Criterion 3 is considered to be the highest priority of the key criteria to ensure that there is no unnecessary fragmentation of services. Waythrough is the incumbent provider of Supplementary Substance Misuse Treatment and Recovery Services and is also the provider of CDDARS. Awarding the contract to Waythrough ensures that the overall delivery of the CDDARS and the supplementary substance misuse treatment and recovery posts and interventions will not be fragmented and will be the responsibility of a single lead provider. The other key criteria have also been considered and provide the authority with sufficient assurance to identify Waythrough as the most suitable provider given past performance for both this contract and CDDARS and the provider's ability to continue to meet the requirements of the service over the next three years The Intended Approach Notice (F01) was published on 13 February 2026 and no other providers expressed an interest to be considered as the most suitable provider.
