This procurement process, currently in the planning stage, focuses on rehabilitation services within the healthcare industry, specifically pertaining to drug and alcohol treatment and recovery. Interested organisations are invited to participate in a virtual session, scheduled for 18 December 2024 from 12.30pm to 1.30pm via Microsoft Teams. Registrations must be completed by 17 December 2024. The engagement period is slated to end on 20 March 2025. The procurement will serve the Worcestershire region and potentially extend to various territories and regions including Europe and the British Overseas Territories. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in healthcare, substance misuse treatment, and rehabilitation services. It is particularly suitable for organisations capable of increasing treatment capacity, providing residential treatment, harm reduction outreach, recovery support, psychological support, and counselling. Participation in the pre-market engagement session is an excellent opportunity for businesses to gain insights into the council's commissioning intentions, contribute to the development of service specifications, and potentially influence future procurement activities. The planned extension of grant funding until 2025-26 offers additional prospects for sustained business growth and partnership with Worcestershire County Council under the newly enacted Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. ## Notice Worcestershire County Council (the Council) would like to invite interested organisations to attend a virtual engagement session around the possible future delivery of services to support drug and alcohol treatment and recovery across Worcestershire. In December 2021, the government published a 10-year drugs plan, 'From Harm to Hope', which committed to additional funding in England up to 2025. As a result, the Council received funding via the Supplemental Substance Misuse Treatment and Recovery Grant (SSMTRG) and the Rough Sleeping Drug and Alcohol Treatment Grant (RSDATG) to deliver a number of initiatives across the county that supported and enhanced substance misuse services. This included a focus on: o Increasing treatment capacity, including residential treatment o Harm reduction outreach o Enhancing recovery support o Psychological support o Counselling Although it is yet to be confirmed by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, it is likely that grant funding will be extended to 2025-26. The Council would therefore like at this tentative stage in the development of proposals, and prior to formulating of any formal opportunities, to inform the market of our commissioning intentions and to consult on the content of service specifications. Any future commissioning activity will be subject to the availability of grant funding and local and national approval. Future procurement activity will be considered in accordance with Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.
