## Summary

Suffolk County Council is initiating a tender process to establish a Framework Agreement for inpatient detoxification and residential rehabilitation services, titled "The Suffolk Adult Drug and Alcohol Inpatient Detoxification and Residential Rehabilitation Framework - AWARD". This procurement falls under the health services category and is aimed at supporting individuals in need of public funding for treatment. The procurement method is open, with the contract period set to commence on 1st April 2022 and conclude on 31st March 2026, allowing for a potential two-year extension. The framework is designed to be accessible to other public contracting authorities in the East of England, with an anticipated annual value of approximately £380,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Companies equipped to deliver high-quality inpatient and residential treatment options, including those with innovative approaches to addiction recovery, would be well-positioned to compete. The flexible structure of the framework may permit new service providers to participate, especially if gaps arise or additional capacity is required over the contract's duration, thereby encouraging collaboration among various health authorities for enhanced service delivery.

## Notice

Suffolk County Council is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement to provide the provision of inpatient detoxification and residential rehabilitation services for people who are in treatment with the Community Treatment Provider for drugs and/or alcohol who require public funding in order to access treatment in a specialist facility. The framework will give options and flexibility to ensure that service users' needs are matched to appropriate high quality service provision for those assessed as requiring funded in-patient detoxification and / or residential rehabilitation. The options may be delivered by a range of providers to support people who have been unable to successfully achieve abstinence and recover in the community and where there is rationale to support the need to access treatment in a specialist facility. This procurement is for services listed within schedule 3 of The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and as a result are subject to the Light Touch Regime under those regulations. Therefore, the Council is not obliged to comply with the full requirements of the 2015 Regulations, however the principles will be applied. At the Councils discretion, the Framework may be re-opened (in whole or in part) once each Framework Year (or more often if required), to allow the Council to fill any gaps on the Framework or to fill any gaps which may have arisen as a result of any of the service providers appointed to the Framework being suspended or removed from the Framework for any reason or where there is a legitimate requirement for increased capacity on the Framework. Any new entrants will be required to meet the original tender requirements before being appointed to the Framework. Existing Providers would be invited to re-submit their tender response should they wish to do so. Flexibility within the contract framework is required in instances such as a pandemic, whereby ability to access detox and/or rehabilitation in a timely manner can be compromised. The framework will be available for use by Suffolk County Council and may also be made available to other public contracting authorities within the geographical boundaries of the East of England including other county councils, district and borough councils and health authorities. It is becoming established practice for government bodies to work closely together and share contract opportunities.

The framework will be for a duration of 2 years commencing 1st April 2022 with the option to extend for up to a further 2 years. The anticipated value of the framework is approximately PS380,000 per annum. However, no guarantee or commitment as to the initial and future value of any work arising from this framework can be given. The framework will consist of 3 lots and th...
