This service aims to support early intervention and treatment for adults and young people. Market engagement events are scheduled for the 28th and 31st July, and 4th August 2017, at which potential providers can express their interest. These meetings will take place in Taunton, providing opportunities for dialogue with SCC and the Strategic Drug and Alcohol Partnership Board regarding the service's future. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social work sector, particularly those with expertise in substance abuse treatment and community engagement. Companies that focus on collaborative approaches and innovative use of technology will be well-suited to compete in this process. Participation in the market engagement events will help organisations align their proposals with the vision of SCC, which emphasises client-centred support and a community-oriented approach. ## Notice This is not a call for competition and is not yet a contract opportunity. Somerset County Council (SCC) is seeking a dialogue with organisations that might be interested in delivering drugs and alcohol service(s) in Somerset to cover early intervention for adults and treatment services (Tier 3) for adults and young people. The contract(s) will commence on 1st April 2019. This service is commissioned by SCC working closely with the Strategic Drug and Alcohol Partnership Board (SDAP) for Somerset. Our Vision is a service which: * looks at people's strength, not just problems; * places the client at the centre - as a partner; * takes a proactive / assertive approach to engagement - opens up options and supports aspirations; * whatever the age of the client, we want a service that works to a model of "Think Family - Think Community - Think Partner"; * makes best use of technology to deliver interventions and communicate with clients and is innovative, creative and forward looking; * is outward looking and collaborative with a range of partners. SCC intends to run a procurement process in Autumn 2017. We are holding market engagement events to have a dialogue about the future service between SCC, SDAP partners and organisations that may wish to deliver the future service(s). Organisations that take part will not be advantaged or disadvantaged in any potential future formal procurement. Commercial confidentiality will be respected. This notice does not represent a formal commitment by SCC to undertake a procurement procedure.
