## Summary

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the "Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Service." This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and is set to take place in Southend-on-Sea, located in the East of England. A virtual market engagement event is scheduled for 15th July 2021, from 10 am to 12 noon, where interested parties can learn more about the upcoming tender. The engagement ends on the same day at 11:59 pm, and attendees must confirm their participation via email to the council's procurement team.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in health services, particularly those with experience in drug and alcohol treatment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the council is keen to engage with suitably experienced providers. Attendance at the market engagement event is crucial for organisations looking to understand the service specifications and to network with council representatives, which may lead to potential collaborations and contract awards in the future.

## Notice

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council will shortly be seeking tenders from suitably experienced providers for the provision of a Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Service in Southend. As part of a wider engagement and consultation, we are inviting stakeholders to a virtual market engagement event held on MS Teams to inform the service model and service specification for the provision of this service. The event will open with a presentation to outline the service and talk through the upcoming tender opportunity; this and opportunities for questions will last no more than 30 minutes. Following this presentation there will be an opportunity for your organisation to meet individually with Council team members to discuss the opportunity. This will be by invitation only, please confirm if you would like to meet individually and you will then be allocated a 10 minute time slot. Date: Thursday 15th July 2021 Time: 10am - 12noon Venue: Microsoft Teams. Please e-mail procurementadvisors@southend.gov.uk to confirm your place, and a Teams meeting invite will then be sent to all attendees. If you require an individual meeting, please request this in your email and a Teams meeting invite will be sent for the 10 minute time slot.
