## Summary

Devon County Council is seeking tenders for the "CP1421-17 Complex Lives Substance Misuse Service" as part of an ongoing initiative to enhance substance misuse support. This open tender falls under the social work and related services category, with a total contract value of £37.8 million. The contract period is set to commence on 1st April 2018 and will run until 31st March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 18th September 2017, and the award was announced on 13th December 2017.

This opportunity is particularly relevant for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in integrated health and social care solutions. Businesses that can offer innovative and collaborative approaches to support individuals facing complex substance misuse issues will be well-positioned to compete. The aim is to create flexible pathways for treatment and recovery, thereby enabling companies capable of providing a holistic service to thrive in this burgeoning sector.

## Notice

This tender is a continuation of the journey which began four years ago with the previous substance misuse tender. The provision has moved from a predominantly medical model of substance misuse treatment with four key providers, where alcohol and drugs were treated separately, to a more recovery-orientated integrated substance misuse offer. We want to explore an innovative and integrative approach to supporting people with their complex issues to live independent and healthier lives. We want to pioneer a creative and flexible response for people experiencing one or a number of issues. This response will minimise duplication and offer streamlined pathways moving away from complexity and negativity and towards futures built on peoples' positive assets and skills equipping them to live independent and healthy lives within their own communities. Therefore, we are looking for creative and collaborative partners who are fully prepared to work with us and our partners to understand and meet these future challenges.
