This project falls within the community services industry category and is located across various sites in Surrey, including Guildford and St Peters Hospital in Chertsey. Currently in the Tender stage, the tender period will close on 9th August 2021, and the contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2022, running for three years until 31st March 2025, with potential for extensions. The procurement method is an open procedure, targeting a total contract value of £4 million. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in health and social care services, particularly those specialising in substance misuse treatment and community outreach. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the tender is designed to accommodate various service providers who can deliver effective harm reduction strategies collaboratively with the NHS and local authorities. Providers must be prepared to engage in transparent financial practices, as the contract emphasizes open book accounting, making this tender suitable for businesses that can adeptly manage collaborative and flexible project delivery. ## Notice i-access is the substance misuse service for Surrey and is part of Surrey and Borders NHS partnership trust (SABP). The service is jointly provided by SABP and Public Health, Surrey County Council under a cooperation agreement. The Child and Family Safeguarding Pilot is part of the i-access service and has a number of months of funding remaining with commitment to secure future funding already being explored. It is part of the i-access service. The Pilot has brought substance misuse workers into the child and family teams in order to support parents with substance misuse issues. This procurement is for subcontracted aspects of i-access as outlined in the specification. The provider will work collaboratively with SABP and Public Health. The provider's staff will work with SABP staff to deliver the i-access service. They will be based in the SABP i-access bases and in Surrey County council bases for the Child and Family safeguarding pilot. The i-access bases are: - Farnham Road Hospital, Guildford - Abraham Cowley Unit, St Peters Hospital site, Chertsey - Wingfield Centre, Redhill. The Child and Family Safeguarding Service bases are: - Guilford Council - St Francis House - Woking Council - Quadrant Court - Walton Council - Ashley Park House - Redhill Council - Consort House. SABP and Public Health dont require any Service Provider to try and reduce the financial envelope. The financial envelopes below: - Main Sub-contract - PS456,988 per annum (for 3 Years with the option to extend for 2 periods of 12 months each) - Family Safeguarding - PS378,000 per annum (maximum funding envelope) for 1 Year on a pay as you go basis based on actual posts/staff recruited in-month and up to10.00% overhead. Service Providers should note that bids under the financial envelope stated above, will not be advantageous. As outlined in the service specification, open book accounting is required. It is therefore important that Service Providers cost their overheads accurately as per the financial spread sheet (for main contract not the child and family safeguarding pilot). A blanket percentage overhead will not be accepted for the main contract. An up to 10.00% overhead for the child and family safeguarding project has been set and cannot be changed for the duration of the pilot. The staffing costs for the child and family safeguarding project are on a "pay as you go basis based on actual posts/staff recruited in-month and overhead". Any underspend funding will be re-invested back into the SCC and SABP Co-operative. We understand when delivering a service there can be unexpected costs. Mitigation for those costs are discussed and agreed in the programme board, on which the successful Provider will sit. The financial approach to this contract is one of openness, transparency and collaboration.
