Contract for Hospital Based Detoxification Services

Description

This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provide Selection regime (PSR). This contract has been awarded under Regulation 14 of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. Hospital Based Detoxification Services - DN806761 In the view of the contracting authority the award was urgent, because: • There was an urgent need to find a medically managed detoxification bed for a client. • This was the only provider that could meet the client needs in the timeframe required. We therefore agreed the need for an Urgent Award with Poole Hospital for a 14-day detoxification. This service is a medically managed detoxification placement for 14 nights and falls under the following CPV Code: 85110000 3 - Hospital and related services. The total contract value is £7280 excluding VAT. The contract for Hospital Based Detoxification Services was fully signed by 5th January 2026, but this was in preparation for the 14-night stay when there was availability. The individual entered on 5th February 2026 for 14 nights, to end 18th February 2026. Reasons why regulation 14 applied: • This award needed to be made urgently due to the clients rapidly declining health. • This was not foreseeable by and not attributable to Dorset Council or the local drug and alcohol treatment service, and • Delaying the award of the contract would be likely to pose a risk to client.
