## Summary

The Durham County Council is initiating a tender process for the "Provision of Substance Misuse Recovery and Treatment Services," classified under health and social work services. This procurement is part of an effort to enhance local drug and alcohol treatment systems, with a budget of £2,000,000 allocated for this initiative. The tender was published on 26th April 2022 and will close for submissions on 17th May 2022. The contract period is set to commence on 1st July 2022 and will extend until 31st March 2025, with potential adjustments based on funding availability.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health services. Firms capable of delivering innovative and effective substance misuse recovery and treatment services over a three-year trajectory will be well-suited to compete. As this project is supported by additional funding from the Office of Health Improvement and Disparities, it is crucial for prospective bidders to prepare adaptable proposals that align with the Council’s goals and funding conditions.

## Notice

The Office of Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) informed Local Authorities of their intention to award indicative sums of additional funding to support improvements in the quality and capacity of local drug and alcohol treatment systems in 2022/23 to 2024/25. OHID has confirmed the Council's allocation for 2022/23 and provided indicative sums for the following years, which are subject to annual approval. The Council has set aside budget that is required to continue interventions initially funded in 2021/22 via the grant for additional drug treatment crime and harm reduction activity (Universal Drug Treatment funding) plus other expenditure identified from the menu of interventions for the Supplemental Substance Misuse treatment and Recovery Grant for County Durham. Additional information: The Council wishes to award contracts from bidders whose Bid Proposals include a three-year trajectory that contributes towards the national ambition. The funding envelopes are indicative and may change, given this, any award made will be subject to funding and budget availability. Proposals submitted from Bidders may need to be amended in light of any funding changes, this will be done in negotiation with providers following award. Any initiatives funded by the Universal Drug Treatment Grant from 2021-22 will continue to be funded and therefore do not require a tender submission. The budget for existing projects is protected.
