Cabinet agreed:

  (i)  The procurement of the ‘SubWize’ Young Person’s Specialist Substance Misuse Service, to include a Single Point of Contact (SPoC) service, on the terms detailed in the report; and

  (ii)  To authorise the Corporate Director of Adult and Community Services, in consultation with the Corporate Director of Finance and Resources, to award the contract to the successful contractor.

The report was withdrawn pending further discussion on the proposals.
