Notice Information

Notice Title

CE-11-26 Flexible Framework Agreement for the Provision of Alcohol and Drug Services and Supports

Notice Description

South Ayrshire Council (The Council) on behalf of South Ayrshire Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) is undertaking a market scoping exercise, under Regulation 41 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The Council on behalf of the ADP are seeking high-quality, relational providers who understand the needs of those who use ADP services.

Lot Information

Recognising Risk, Reducing Harm and Coordinating Care

The Provider(s) will specifically support individuals who have disengaged from core alcohol or drug services, had recent contact with emergency services due to their alcohol or drug use, experienced a recent near fatal overdose or who may require intensive support during challenging times or transitions which impact on their recovery e.g., leaving prison or hospital. Work collaboratively to provide multidisciplinary (e.g. nursing, recovery workers and lived experience workers), trauma informed, responsive, person centred, intensive and assertive outreach support for vulnerable individuals (aged 16+) at high risk of alcohol or drug related harm and death across South Ayrshire.

Treatment and Recovery

Provider(s) will be expected to work collaboratively to deliver trauma informed, responsive person-centred community-based supports including but not limited to stabilisation support; psychosocial supports; Tier 1 and 2 psychological interventions; alcohol and drug counselling; residential rehabilitation preparatory, throughcare and aftercare supports; and family inclusive practice.

Whole Family Approach (including young people)

The approach will include the provision of a coordinated single point of access for young people (under 26 years) seeking support with their own alcohol or drug use, and whole family support for anyone affected by someone else's alcohol or drug use across South Ayrshire.

Recovery Communities

The Provider(s) will undertake activities to ensure the voices of individuals with lived and living experience are involved in ADP activities, including service improvement activities, the implementation of the Charter of Rights and activities aimed at reducing stigma experienced by individuals and families.

Consultancy Support

Activities may include the design and development of quality improvement and evaluation tools and resources; collation of feedback from staff, individuals and families using tools such as workshops, surveys, interviews, focus groups; analysis of data identifying key learning and possible improvement areas; preparation of reports and presentations; reviews of evidence base across the UK and further afield; development of the ADP strategy, performance framework and implementation plans.
