This initiative is under the health and social work services industry category, focusing on providing drug and alcohol support to rough sleepers in England. The procurement process for this service, which had an overall value of £56,969, was completed with the contract awarded to Groundswell, starting on 1st September 2024 and ending on 31st March 2025. The tender was specifically designed to enhance outreach and treatment services to rough sleepers, incorporating various health professionals like GPs, nurses, and peer health advocates to improve outcomes for this vulnerable group. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses focused on health and social care, particularly those experienced in community services and drug and alcohol rehabilitation. It presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in an impactful project that aims to provide crucial support to a marginalised population. By participating in such contracts, businesses can both contribute to addressing social issues and achieve growth through government-funded initiatives. ## Notice The numbers of people sleeping out on the streets across England hit record levels in 2018, amongst those who sleep out there is a high prevalence rate of problematic and dependent drug and alcohol use. Due to 8 years of central Government underfunding, community drug and alcohol treatment services have been unable to offer the type of enhanced treatment options which achieve better, sustained recovery outcomes for people experiencing homelessness with substance use disorders. Following the success of Everyone In during the first year of the pandemic in 2020, the Office of Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), alongside the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUCH), launched a number of grant funded schemes targeting support for people rough sleeping. The Rough Sleeping Drug and Alcohol Grant is one of these grant funded programmes of work. Most recently this programme has been extended and will run up to the end of March 2025. The City and Hackney were 2 of the authorities out of 60 in total awarded grant funding. The successful City and Hackney bid focuses on providing greater outreach through two dedicated rough sleeper community treatment teams, taking treatment to people sleeping rough. The second phase bid further includes a greater mosaic of clinical and service expertise most relevant to the needs of rough sleepers, such as more GP time, an alcohol specific nurse, a Speech and Language Therapist and Peer Health Advocates. Overall, the project aims to engage more rough sleepers into all forms of treatment, from harm reduction, structured treatment, to detox and rehab. It requires local systems to provide an enhanced offer to rough sleepers which supports sustained longer term, improved health outcomes. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b4fa3a6f-36b2-4054-9556-e737797e44ac | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | 16 Aug 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 15 Aug 2024 | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2024 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £56,969 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £56,969 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON BOROUGH OF HACKNEY | | Locality | HACKNEY | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E8 1DY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Hackney | | Electoral ward | Hackney Central | | Westminster constituency | Hackney South and Shoreditch | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | GROUNDSWELL | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 28 Oct 2024 at 14:40 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b4fa3a6f-36b2-4054-9556-e737797e44ac ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b4fa3a6f-36b2-4054-9556-e737797e44ac 28th October 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.hackney.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
