This initiative seeks to co-commission an Integrated Substance Misuse Treatment Service across Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland, including HMP Leicester, with the current contracts set to expire on 31 March 2021. Interested parties should note that the engagement period ends on 4th September 2019, by which date feedback regarding the commissioning proposals can be submitted. Further details and guidelines for participation are available in the market engagement notice published on 8th August 2019. This soft market test represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services to inform the commissioning of vital treatment services. Potential providers, particularly those offering innovative solutions in substance misuse support, will benefit by engaging in the process, as it allows them to contribute insights that may shape future procurement. Companies looking to expand their influence in this market should proceed with submitting their responses, as this engagement may lead to opportunities in upcoming contracts once the formal tendering phase begins. ## Notice Leicester City Council, Leicestershire County Council, NHS England and the Leicestershire Police and Crime Commissioner currently co-commission an Integrated Substance Misuse Treatment Service, which operates across the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland areas, including HMP Leicester. Current contracts for this service end on 31 March 2021 and the Commissioners are reviewing their substance misuse services to inform their future commissioning and procurement activity. As part of the commissioning process, the Council is undertaking a soft market test. This gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the commissioning proposals. This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a Contract. The Council is using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this particular Service. There are therefore no formal criteria which will be used to judge your responses, and it is not our intention to provide any feedback. We would encourage you to respond if you feel this is something your organisation may have an interest in. The questionnaire can be found by copying and pasting the following link into your web browser: https://procontract.due-north.com/Procurer/Advert/View?advertId=48cc9c8d-bab9-e911-80f8-005056b64545&fromAdvertEvent=True Please email your completed questionnaire to the email address procurement-asc@leicester.gov.uk with the subject heading: 'Completed SMT Q - SMTS' before or by no later than 12:00 hours on 4th September 2019. Please note this is not a call for competition. The Council welcomes the opportunity to engage with and appreciate your assistance in providing us with your views. However you should note that in any subsequent procurement exercise the Council will have to comply with our legal obligations and that neither the intention nor the purpose of this soft market testing exercise is to confer any advantage upon its participation in any future procurement process.
