## Summary

The Home Office is currently running a procurement process titled "Drugs Misuse Intervention Support Fund" aimed at funding projects that provide evidence-based prevention and intervention related to drug misuse in schools and alternative provision institutions throughout England. The procurement stage for this tender is the award phase, with a specific contracting period commencing on 1 November 2018 and concluding on 31 March 2019. Bids were accepted until 12 October 2018, with a maximum bid limit per organisation set at £100,000. This project falls under the community services industry category, extending across various regions in the United Kingdom including London, the North East, and the South West.

This funding opportunity is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that have the capacity to develop innovative programmes centred on youth resilience and decision-making skills to combat drug misuse. Successful bidders stand to build their reputations through partnership with the Home Office and contribute significantly to community welfare. It is essential for interested parties to be registered suppliers on the CCS eSourcing portal, and engage proactively with the provided guidelines to facilitate a competitive submission process.

## Notice

As part of the Government's Serious Violence Strategy, the Home Office is seeking to fund a project that can deliver evidence-based prevention & intervention in schools and alternative provision (AP) institutions including Pupil Referral Units (PRUs) in England. The project could involve: a pilot of an approach; an extension of, or innovation building on, an existing intervention programme; a robust evaluation of one or more existing interventions; or a combination of these. The purpose for funding this approach to interventions is to build the evidence base around equipping young people with the specific skills, resilience and resources needed to critically address risky behaviour and develop a core set of values that enable them to make the right decisions to avoid drug misuse. This grant funding will be made available through an open competition. Bidders should note that a Home Office condition of any grant funding will be that recipients are not permitted to charge, apply fees to or require payment for any activity provided in connection with this funded programme or otherwise use the grant to undertake or engage in activities that result in commercial gain or profit. All bids must be for the full five (5) month period, and bidders must be able to demonstrate their ability to spend their entire potential award by 31 March 2019. Please be aware that you may only bid once, be that can be as either a single entity or lead (or part thereof) a partnership/consortium. The competition may conclude in the Home Office awarding grant funding to more than one projects but the limit an organisation can bid for is PS100,000, but we expect all bids to be scalable to take into account the wider needs of the Programme to ensure diversity of funding. More details about scalability will be made available in the published documents. All submissions will be evaluated using the online questionnaire hosted within the Drugs Misuse Intervention Support Fund event on the Crown Commercial Services (CCS) eSourcing portal: all submissions must be made through this portal. Successful organisations will be allocated funding centrally via a Grant Agreement from the Home Office.
