## Summary

The Surrey County Council is looking to engage with individuals affected by substance misuse through an independent public involvement service. The procurement is for a service to engage with individuals, families, and communities impacted by substance use. This tender is in the planning stage and has a procurement deadline of January 30, 2023. The contract period is from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2027. The procurement method is an open procedure with a value of £240,000 GBP.

This tender by Surrey County Council presents opportunities for businesses involved in social research services, health and social work services, crisis management services, and community health services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are suitable to participate. Businesses interested in engaging with communities affected by substance use and providing support services would be well-suited to bid for this contract.

## Notice

Surrey County Council ('The Council') is issuing this RFQ in relation to the provision of a bespoke and independent public engagement service for those in Surrey who may be affected by substance use. This includes people with lived experience, their families and networks, individuals impacted by the effect of substance use through their communities and those that have been the victims of drug-related crime. We are particularly keen to engage with people with lived experience who choose not to engage with our treatment services. We anticipate that engagement with the public will be conducted through 1-1 opportunities and targeted focus groups, and the service provider will be steered by Surrey's newly established Combating Drugs Partnership as to the focus of the engagement. The service provider will be expected to report back to the Partnership on a regular basis. There will also be the expectation that the service provider will ensure participants are provided with appropriate support in relation to their engagement and that they will engage with existing local networks providing public participation, such as Healthwatch and The Council's User Voice and Participation Team.
