This contract, classified under welfare services for children and young people, is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 27th August 2021. The value of the contract is set at £600,000, and it will span from 1st April 2022 until 31st March 2025. The service must align with the National Drug Strategy (2017) and will primarily operate in Romford, England. This procurement opportunity presents a valuable chance for businesses in the health and social care sectors, especially those specialising in substance misuse rehabilitation and welfare services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisations are encouraged to participate, particularly those that can demonstrate expertise in delivering tailored interventions for young people. This initiative not only aims to promote recovery but also to foster community integration, thereby creating avenues for impactful contributions and growth within the sector. ## Notice The Young Person's Substance Misuse Service engages vulnerable young people and intervenes early to avoid or limit escalating risk and harm from substance misuse. The objective of the service is to support sustained recovery by supporting young people, from entrance into the service to re-integration back into the wider community or adult services. 1.3 This service will operate within the context and expectations outlined in the National Drug Strategy (2017). With regards to young people, the strategy is clear that a targeted approach with specialist services are needed for those most at risk of misusing drugs and to tackle the threats of new types of drug misuse. In brief, the aim of the Strategy is to support people to live a drug free life through a whole-life approach to preventing and reducing the demand for drugs that will lead to the following outcomes: 1) Reduce Demand - action to prevent the onset of drug use, and its escalation at all ages, through universal action combined with more targeted action for the most vulnerable. This includes placing a greater emphasis on building resilience and confidence among our young people to prevent the range of risks they face (e.g. drug and alcohol misuse, crime, exploitation, unhealthy relationships). 2) Restrict Supply - taking a smarter approach to restricting the supply of drugs: adapting our approach to reflect changes in criminal activity; using innovative data and technology; taking coordinated partnership action to tackle drugs alongside other criminal activity. 3) Build Recovery - improving both treatment quality and outcomes for different user groups; ensuring the right interventions are given to people according to their needs; and facilitating the delivery of an enhanced joined-up approach to commissioning and the wide range of services that are essential to supporting every individual to live a life free from drugs. 4) Global Action - taking a leading role in driving international action, spearheading new initiatives e.g. on new psychoactive substances, sharing best practice and promoting an evidence-based approach to preventing drug harms. 1.4 With regards to a local context, Havering is the third largest London borough, covering some 43 square miles. It is located on the northeast boundary of Greater London. To the north and east the Borough is bordered by the Essex countryside, to the south by a three mile River Thames frontage, and to the west by the neighbouring boroughs of Redbridge and Barking & Dagenham. The general population of the Borough has increased year on year since 2002, with a 13.7% increase from 2002 to 2017. Looking ahead, it is projected that the largest increases in population will occur in children (0-17 years) and older people age groups (65 years and above) up to 2033. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8b49cab-5b1f-402e-91c0-1b4903b82c31 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | 27 Aug 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2022 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £600,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON BOROUGH OF NEWHAM | | Locality | ROMFORD | | Post town | Romford | | Postcode | RM1 3BB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI5 Outer London - East and North East | | ITL 3 | TLI52 Barking & Dagenham and Havering | | Local authority | Havering | | Electoral ward | St Edward's | | Westminster constituency | Romford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 85311300 - Welfare services for children and young people - 90743200 - Toxic substances rehabilitation services ## Release History - 8 Jul 2021 at 15:59 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8b49cab-5b1f-402e-91c0-1b4903b82c31 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8b49cab-5b1f-402e-91c0-1b4903b82c31 8th July 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://elfy.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/fscmUI/faces/PrcPosRegisterSupplier?prcBuId=300000002366037 Fusion - access to documentation ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
