Decision details

DACT applied for £20,000 grant to replace and fit out a new outreach van for Sheffield treatment services outreach provision. This funding application has been approved by the OPCC from Fortify funding. The purpose of this report is to seek approval to accept the grant and pass this on to the new contractor.

1.    To approve acceptance of funding;

2.    To pass funding on to third party to purchase outreach van.

1.    £20,000 has been offered by the OPCC for the purchase and fit out of a new outreach van which will be delivered as part of the commissioned drug and alcohol services.

2.    The funding will be passed to the provider of the services to buy, fit out, and then maintain the van as part of the contract. SCC will have no additional liability for the van or any associated running costs beyond what is already included in the contract price for the delivery of these and other services. 

1.    To continue with the current van – this is not fit for purpose, is too large and cannot be driven by the majority of staff.

2.    To not replace the van – same impact as above, would allow only a limited service to be in place due to the limitations of the vehicle.
