Interested providers are invited to engage prior to the formal tender, with a crucial engagement end date set for 18th March 2020. The market engagement event will take place on 20th March 2020, providing a platform for service providers to contribute to the service design and its core objectives. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with experience in managing substance misuse and community health initiatives. Companies focused on innovative and personalised support services, especially for vulnerable demographics such as older adults, women, families, and individuals involved in the criminal justice system, would be well-suited to compete. By participating in this market engagement, businesses can influence the development of the services while positioning themselves favourably for future competitive tendering opportunities. ## Notice Westminster City Council (WCC), as lead Authority, intends to undertake a competitive tendering procurement on behalf of itself, and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) for the provision of an innovative and ambitious outward facing community-based core Drugs and core Alcohol Service. The services will be driving an asset-based model that builds on the strengths of individuals. There will be culture of active service user involvement and personalisation to support reducing harm and sustained recovery from dependence. The service will respond to the changing substance misuse trends and needs of residents. Integral to this will be earlier intervention and improved targeted provision and treatment for older people, women, families, those involved with the criminal justice system and residents with housing need. There will be a specialised outward facing alcohol service which will work closely with communities, primary care and provide a hospital alcohol liaison service. Prior to commencing any formal public procurement process, RBKC and WCC, wish to engage with interested providers to ensure the expertise of providers contributes to the service design principles; service core components; outcomes and KPI'S; and the procurement process. The two boroughs invite providers with experience of delivering this type of services to a supplier engagement event on 20th March 2020.
