This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social services. Businesses that focus on providing interventions for substance misuse among young people and family support services would be particularly well-suited to participate in future contracts. By engaging in this important service area, such businesses can not only contribute positively to community well-being but also expand their operational footprint and expertise in a sector with ongoing demand for innovative and supportive solutions. ## Notice Patterns of substance misuse among young people are changing, both in terms of reported prevalence and complexity of the problems faced by the young people who use services. While recent years have seen a decline in the number of young people recorded as entering specialist substance misuse services, substance misuse continues to be ranked as one of the five major challenges that young people face today with cannabis and alcohol remaining the most commonly reported substances for under 18 year olds with problematic use. Substance misuse is seldom an isolated issue for young people. It affects their health and wellbeing, their education, their family, their security and their future. Substance misuse is closely linked to a number of risky behaviours, including risky sexual activity and multiple risk behaviours and vulnerabilities often associated with adolescence. Building resilience within an asset-based age appropriate model of Young People and Family substance misuse service delivery is central to enabling young people to develop the confidence and social capital that are protective factors against vulnerability to substance use and involvement in criminal activity. Evidence suggests that specialist substance misuse interventions contribute to improved health and wellbeing, educational attendance and achievement, reductions in the numbers of young people not in education, employment or training and reduced risk taking behaviour, such as offending, smoking and unprotected sex. The lives of young people can be improved when their families (many of whom have complex needs themselves) are offered support and awareness of the negative affects their substance misuse while involving family members in treatment can improve positive outcomes and sustained behaviour change for young people and their families. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c2c7892-88a5-4f05-9471-99cbed9b9f0b | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 May 2018 | | Submission deadline | 6 Jun 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 17 Jul 2017 | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2017 - 1 Apr 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,575,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £864,095 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SEFTON COUNCIL | | Locality | BOOTLE | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L20 3UU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD73 Sefton | | Local authority | Sefton | | Electoral ward | Linacre | | Westminster constituency | Bootle | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ADDACTION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 15 May 2018 at 08:38 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c2c7892-88a5-4f05-9471-99cbed9b9f0b - 12 May 2017 at 10:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c2c7892-88a5-4f05-9471-99cbed9b9f0b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c2c7892-88a5-4f05-9471-99cbed9b9f0b 12th May 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.sefton.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
