This process falls under the health and social work services industry category and is located in Southend-on-Sea, England. The procurement is currently in the Planning stage, with key dates including a bidders information day scheduled for 1st June 2017. The tender advertisement will be placed on the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) on 7th June 2017, with the submission deadline for tenders set for 27th July 2017, and the contract start date anticipated for 1st December 2017. Interested businesses should note that an engagement end date is set for 23rd February 2018. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the delivery of adult drug and alcohol services. Companies specialising in health and social care, particularly those with innovative service delivery models, would be well-suited to participate in this procurement process. The bidders information day allows potential providers to engage directly with the Council's commissioning team, offering a platform to demonstrate their capabilities and propose tailored solutions aligned with the needs identified by the Southend Drug and Alcohol Commissioning Team. ## Notice Southend Drug and Alcohol Commissioning Team (Southend DACT), on behalf of Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, are seeking views from key stakeholders about the drug and alcohol prevention, treatment and recovery system it should commission across the Borough from December 2017. Following on from our consultation and information days we've held previously for the Southend-on-Sea Drug & Alcohol Prevention, Early Intervention, Treatment & Recovery System, the decision has been reached that Southend-on-Sea Borough Council will only be tendering for the provision of adult drug and alcohol services at this stage. We will be holding a bidders information day and this session will provide an opportunity for the Council to present the proposed service model and gather feedback from the market. Providers will have an opportunity to propose solutions for innovative service delivery and ask questions about the tender process. The bidders information day will be held in on Thursday 1st June 2017, at 10am in Committee Room 1 at Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, Civic Centre, Victoria Avenue, Southend-on-Sea, Essex. There is limited parking available in the public car parks surrounding the Civic Centre, and if you are using a satnav to find us please use the postcode SS2 6LR. As the event is being held in Committee Room 1, and as this is a public room we would ask that you make your way directly to the committee room on the first floor rather than going to reception. Due to the delays in publishing the tender, our proposed new indicative timetable is: Place Advert on OJEU - 7th June 2017 Tender submission deadline - 27th July 2017 Tender evaliation ends - 25th September 2017 Contract Start Date - 1st December 2017 To attend the event, or if you would like to be kept informed of the discussions on the day please email procurement@southend.gov.uk Please note that space is limited, so would ask that you send a maximum of two (2) delegates per organisation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1e2ea650-83a5-4c86-b0ee-7c60c4d27b5b | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 May 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTHEND-ON-SEA BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | SOUTHEND-ON-SEA | | Post town | Southend-on-Sea | | Postcode | SS2 6ER | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH31 Southend-on-Sea | | Local authority | Southend-on-Sea | | Electoral ward | Victoria | | Westminster constituency | Southend East and Rochford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 19 May 2017 at 14:22 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1e2ea650-83a5-4c86-b0ee-7c60c4d27b5b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1e2ea650-83a5-4c86-b0ee-7c60c4d27b5b 19th May 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
