Made at meeting: 07/02/2024 - Lead Member for Adult Social Care and Health
Decision published: 07/02/2024
Effective from: 14/02/2024
Decision:
40.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Adult Social Care and Health regarding the extension of the existing contract for adult Drug and Alcohol Recovery Services by the permitted 24 months.
DECISIONS

The current Education Division (the
‘Division’) Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) (previously
known as the Standards and Learning Effectiveness Service (SLES)
DPS) ends on 30 September 2024. The DPS enables the procurement of
services from external providers to support the Divisions’
objective of driving improvements in East Sussex schools,
academies, colleges, and other educational settings.
The Division is seeking to set up an Education Services Approved
List of Suppliers (‘ESAL’) from April 2024 to replace
the DPS. The proposed new ESAL will offer a more streamlined,
adaptable, consistent and compliant means for the Education
Division to procure the required services.
The ESAL would start earlier than the current DPS ends to allow
time for providers to apply and be accepted onto the Approved List.
This will ensure call-off contracts can continue to be made whilst
the new Approved List is being established and will ensure there is
no break in service delivery and services start at an appropriate
time.

Decision published: 06/02/2024
Effective from: 13/02/2024
Decision:
1.Approve the establishment of the Education
Services Approved List; and
