The tender, falling under the community health services category, will be conducted using an open procedure as per The Health Care (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The deadline for tender submissions is 9th October 2024, with contract execution planned from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2035. This procurement is expected to address a wide array of needs within Luton, providing specialised services in separate accommodations for targeted interventions. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health care, particularly those targeting substance abuse treatment and recovery. Ideal candidates will include SMEs capable of providing nuanced services from clinical treatment to holistic recovery programmes. Such services should aim to reduce relapse by minimising trigger points and offering integrated case management. Businesses excelling in community involvement, support networks, and innovative recovery methods will find this an excellent opportunity to expand their operations and make a significant impact in a challenged community. This initiative not only promises business growth but also substantial community benefits by focussing on specialised care and recovery support systems. ## Notice Luton is currently identified as a 'Challenged Area' by OHID in terms of drug and alcohol treatment services. This was due to a reduction in the number of those in treatment and the lack of referrals and engagement with the criminal justice system. Numbers in treatment have increased significantly, including for those on the criminal justice pathway. We are therefore looking to procure three different service lots. Lot 1 - Luton clinical drug and alcohol treatment service - providing clinical intervention, psychosocial intervention, NICE guidelines, specialist children and young person's service (8-24 years), in reach teams to hospital and Criminal Justice System Lot 2 - A new support service which will work with those who are not ready or able to engage in formal structured treatment due to various complexities and interconnected needs. Lot 3 - Luton specialist, independent drug and alcohol recovery service. The services will form a joint alliance, offering integrated case management and utilising a robust Information Sharing Agreement. The three lots, plus the children and young person service, will be housed in separate accommodation to address the needs of the service users and providing a suitable safe space for service users on the different stages of their recovery, as per recommendations in the recent consultation. It is recommended that recovery should sit independently from treatment, so each specialism can focus on their own areas to achieve the joint ambition of reduce the harms caused by drugs and alcohol in Luton. The independent recovery system will: * help to reduce risk of relapse by a reduction in trigger points; service users not having to attend the treatment service- a place that they may associate with their substance use, reducing the interaction with people still in active addiction, reducing contact with those who may try and exploit others- recovery can be a very vulnerable time. * support a tailored approach; recovery is subjective to each individual's needs and accountability, with many people choosing different beliefs and methods to achieve their recovery goals. * provide an increased focus and clear path for those in treatment, enabling them to move on from clinical treatment into recovery with ongoing structured support. * help focus on the social components of treatment journeys by building recovery capital. Encouraging and identifying robust protective factors that underpin recovery such as the repair of relationships, support networks & engagement in their community. * provide easy access to recovery support for those who may have managed their journey from dependency without accessing clinical treatment. * bring together recovery partners in the community, including the Recovery College, mutual aid and fellowship services.

This is conducted under The Health Care (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8d36ae3-c2d3-4e2f-bd07-5c0f39106202 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 9 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2025 - 31 Mar 2035 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LUTON COUNCIL | | Locality | LUTON | | Post town | Luton | | Postcode | LU1 2BQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH21 Luton | | Local authority | Luton | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Luton South and South Bedfordshire | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 5 Sep 2024 at 07:42 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8d36ae3-c2d3-4e2f-bd07-5c0f39106202 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8d36ae3-c2d3-4e2f-bd07-5c0f39106202 5th September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d57df28c-7742-ef11-812d-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.luton.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
