The notice in full
This is a notice under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This is an award under Direct Award Process A as set out in the Regulations. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is providing a total of PS310 million in additional targeted grants to local authorities in 2025 to 2026.
The purpose of the funding is to improve treatment and recovery outcomes in line with the recommendations from Dame Carol Black's independent review. As part of this funding, Norfolk has been allocated a total of PS3,974,294.00.
The 2025 to 2026 grant consists of a number of previous drug & alcohol related treatment and recovery grants, which have been consolidated into a single drug and alcohol treatment and recovery improvement grant (DATRIG). In line with the terms of the drug and alcohol treatment and recovery improvement grant, Norfolk County Council are proposing to award the Norfolk commissioned drug and alcohol treatment provider Change Grow Live PS1,816,493.
The purpose of the funding is to incrementally add to the existing infrastructure of the drug and alcohol treatment and Recovery service funded by the Norfolk public health grant.
