This tender falls under the health services category, primarily serving the East of England region. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a tender period deadline set for 19th November 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2022 and will last for two years, with a possible extension of another two years, potentially valued at approximately £380,000 annually. This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those able to provide inpatient detoxification and rehabilitation assistance. Suitable businesses may include healthcare facilities, rehabilitation centres, and community treatment providers that meet the tender requirements. The framework encourages collaboration, allowing participation from a range of providers and supporting the need for flexible service delivery, particularly crucial during challenging situations such as a pandemic. ## Notice Suffolk County Council is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement to provide the provision of inpatient detoxification and residential rehabilitation services for people who are in treatment with the Community Treatment Provider for drugs and/or alcohol who require public funding in order to access treatment in a specialist facility. The framework will give options and flexibility to ensure that service users' needs are matched to appropriate high quality service provision for those assessed as requiring funded in-patient detoxification and / or residential rehabilitation. The options may be delivered by a range of providers to support people who have been unable to successfully achieve abstinence and recover in the community and where there is rationale to support the need to access treatment in a specialist facility. This procurement is for services listed within schedule 3 of The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and as a result are subject to the Light Touch Regime under those regulations. Therefore, the Council is not obliged to comply with the full requirements of the 2015 Regulations, however the principles will be applied. At the Councils discretion, the Framework may be re-opened (in whole or in part) once each Framework Year (or more often if required), to allow the Council to fill any gaps on the Framework or to fill any gaps which may have arisen as a result of any of the service providers appointed to the Framework being suspended or removed from the Framework for any reason or where there is a legitimate requirement for increased capacity on the Framework. Any new entrants will be required to meet the original tender requirements before being appointed to the Framework. Existing Providers would be invited to re-submit their tender response should they wish to do so. Flexibility within the contract framework is required in instances such as a pandemic, whereby ability to access detox and/or rehabilitation in a timely manner can be compromised. The framework will be available for use by Suffolk County Council and may also be made available to other public contracting authorities within the geographical boundaries of the East of England including other county councils, district and borough councils and health authorities. It is becoming established practice for government bodies to work closely together and share contract opportunities. The majority of placements under this framework will be by direct award however there may be occasion where there will be a mini-competition if it is in the best interests of the Service User. The framework will be for a duration of 2 years commencing 1st April 2022 with the option to extend for up to a further 2 years. The anticipated value of the framework is approximately PS380,000 per annum. However, no guarantee or commitment as to the initial and future value of any work arising from this framework can be given. The framework will consist of 3 lots and th...
