Notice Title

ASC0282 - Alcohol & Drug Day Centre Service and Wet Room

Notice Description

Leicester City Council Public Health is carrying out a commissioning review of a Day Centre Service and Wet Room facility for alcohol and drug users who face significant barriers to treatment. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire make a financial contribution to the overall service budget. The current service (known as No.5) is commissioned to provide harm reduction and recovery building opportunities for people who use alcohol and drugs, are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, rough sleeping and/or living a street lifestyle (including street drinking/drug use). The service includes a wet room facility which provides an alternative to street drinking and assists people to learn how to manage their drinking and to engage in recovery support. The current service is being reviewed, and subject to its findings, a tender for this Service could potentially be advertised September 2022, to enable a new contract to begin from 01/04/2023. As part of the commissioning process, the Authority is undertaking a soft market test. This gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the potential service model and specification principles. The Commissioners will use the information to appraise options and further develop the specification. This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a Contract. The Council is using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this particular Service. There are therefore no formal criteria which will be used to judge your responses, and it is not our intention to provide any feedback. We would encourage you to respond if you feel this is something your organisation may have an interest in. If you would like to participate in this Soft Market Testing, then please copy and paste the link below to the Due North SMT Advert and dowlnload and complete the Soft Market Testing questionnaire located in the attachments section and then email your completed questionnaire to the email address procurement-asc@leicester.gov.uk with the subject heading: 'Completed SMT Q - DAY SERVICE' before or by no later than 14:00 hours FRIDAY 15TH APRIL 2022 Please note this is not a call for competition. The Council welcomes the opportunity to engage with and appreciate your assistance in providing us with your views. However you should note that in any subsequent procurement exercise the Council will have to comply with our legal obligations and that neither the intention nor the purpose of this soft market testing exercise is to confer any advantage upon its participation in any future procurement process.
