## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council has completed the procurement process for a "Drugs and Alcohol Training Package," a hybrid training programme aimed at residents and various stakeholders within Northamptonshire. This contract, valued at £310,714, falls under the Health and Social Work Services category and covers both online and face-to-face training methods. The procurement process followed a negotiated procedure without prior publication, with the tender period ending on 18 December 2023. The contract will run from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2026, primarily focused on substance misuse training and public health priorities across West and North Northamptonshire.

This tender provides significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those adept in delivering training and development programmes. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited for this contract due to its focus on local community engagement and the requirement to tailor training modules for a diverse range of stakeholders. With ongoing engagement with various public health priorities, businesses in this sector can leverage this contract to expand their offerings and establish a robust presence in the East Midlands region.

## Notice

The Hybrid training contract will provide training for residents in Northamptonshire, training for front line workers, managers, practitioners, and internal and external stakeholders. The Provider will be required to produce skills audits for the workforce across key agencies, produce online bespoke training, deliver training on online platforms, deliver face to face training for key agencies, produce a communication plan to advertise the training and work with managers and HR leads to embed key training modules into stakeholder's job descriptions. There will be a key focus on substance misuse, but this will also vary to suit the learning and development needs of residents and stakeholders in relation to key public health priorities across West Northamptonshire and on behalf of North Northamptonshire.
