Key dates to note include the engagement end date set for 3rd August 2018, with a market engagement exercise designed to ascertain market interest and capabilities. This exercise will inform a formal competition planned for September-October 2018. Interested parties can access relevant documents via Contracts Finder and must submit completed questionnaires by 12:00 noon on the deadline date to the designated email address. This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in preventative and intervention services, particularly those with experience in working with schools and youth organisations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the Home Office’s intent to gather a wide range of opinions and insights. Companies that can offer innovative and evidence-based solutions to equip young people with the resilience needed to avoid drug misuse stand to benefit greatly from this upcoming competitive process. ## Notice To enable the Home Office to determine the market's interest, capability and capacity to deliver an evidence-based prevention and intervention programme through schools and Pupil Referral Units (PRUs) in England, to equip at-risk young people with the resilience to live a life free from drugs, drug-related crime and risky behaviour. The Home Office is seeking opinions from interested organisations via this pre-market engagement to validate the Home Office approach to an evidence-based pilot that will deliver this 12-month programme. The questionnaire takes the form of a series of questions relating to preventions and interventions designed to equip young people with the specific skills, resilience and resources needed to critically address risky behaviour and develop a core set of values that enable them to make the right decisions to avoid drug misuse. Responses will enable the Home Office to refine its approach before formally commencing an open competition currently scheduled for September - October 2018. Deadlines for questionnaire submissions is 14:00 on Thursday 09 August 2018. All submissions must be in English and free from virus. All questionnaires must be sent to the Authority's designated email address of DrugStrategyGrant@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk by 14:00 on 09 August 2018. Additional information: This is a market engagement exercise purely designed to assist the Home Office in developing the final documentation for competition than is currently planned September - October 2018. No award will be made as a consequence of this exercise, and involvement will not constitute any preferential treatment when the formal competition commences. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c6fb7d8-e151-48e6-a41f-c36c8b558424 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jul 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 9 Aug 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HOME OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98390000 - Other services ## Release History - 26 Jul 2018 at 13:10 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c6fb7d8-e151-48e6-a41f-c36c8b558424 - 20 Jul 2018 at 12:59 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c6fb7d8-e151-48e6-a41f-c36c8b558424 - 20 Jul 2018 at 11:02 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c6fb7d8-e151-48e6-a41f-c36c8b558424 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c6fb7d8-e151-48e6-a41f-c36c8b558424 26th July 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/81f96310-dea4-459a-92a2-fe0c1f3aa12f Prevention Intervention Questionaire - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6b28d4de-c82e-4402-8fef-66bbb2932136 Pre-Market Engagement Instructions ## Notice URLs - https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/698009/serious-violence-strategy.pdf ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
