Notice Title

ASC0255 - Substance Misuse Treatment Services Growing the Recovery Community

Notice Description

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION SOFT MARKET TESTING Leicester City Council, Leicestershire County Council, NHS England and the Leicestershire Police and Crime Commissioner currently co-commission an Integrated Substance Misuse Treatment Service, which operates across the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland areas, including HMP Leicester. Current contracts for this service end on 31 March 2021 and the Commissioners are reviewing their substance misuse services to inform their future commissioning and procurement activity. As part of the commissioning process, the Council is undertaking further soft market testing. This gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the commissioning proposals. 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 download and complete the Soft Market Testing questionnaire. The Soft Market Test questionnaire can be found by copying and pasting one of the following web links into your web browser: Source Leicestershire advert Web Link (http://www.sourceleicestershire.co.uk/contracts/show/id/18214) OR Due North advert Web Link (https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=549fcfeb-a2f1-e911-80fa-005056b64545&fromProjectDashboard=True) The completed questionnaire must be returned electronically by email to the email address procurement-asc@leicester.gov.uk with the subject heading: 'Completed SMT Q - GTRC' before or by no later than 12:00 hours on 15th November 2019. 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.
