This procurement process is focused on the health and social work services sector, specifically aimed at integrating substance misuse treatment across Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland. Key dates include the engagement end date set for 28 September 2020. The council is conducting soft market testing to gather insights from potential providers and stakeholders, with existing contracts set to expire on 31 March 2022. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those with experience in substance misuse treatment and community-based services for various demographics, including adults and young people. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in the engagement process, as the council seeks diverse input to inform future commissioning strategies. Interested parties should respond promptly by submitting the Soft Market Testing questionnaire before the deadline. ## Notice Leicester City Council, Leicestershire County Council, Rutland County Council, the Leicestershire Police and Crime Commissioner and Ministry of Justice are seeking to co-commission an Integrated Substance Misuse Treatment Service across the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland areas incorporating community-based services for adults and young people including criminal justice pathways. Current contracts for this service end on 31 March 2022 and the Commissioners are reviewing their substance misuse services to inform their future commissioning and procurement activity. As part of the commissioning process, the Council is undertaking further soft market testing. This gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the commissioning proposals. This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a Contract. The Council is using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this particular Service. There are therefore no formal criteria which will be used to judge your responses, and it is not our intention to provide any feedback. We would encourage you to respond if you feel this is something your organisation may have an interest in. If you would like to participate in this Soft Market Testing, then please download and complete the Soft Market Testing questionnaire.
