## Summary

The Leicestershire Police is seeking external evaluation services for their Intelligence Led Drug Testing on Arrest Programme. The contract falls under the research consultancy services category and is located in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a tender period ending on the 27th of October 2023, and a contract period starting on the 2nd of November 2023 and ending on the 31st of March 2024.

This tender offers an opportunity for businesses in the services industry to provide evaluation services to support drug treatment initiatives. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to compete for this contract. The Leicestershire Police, as the contracting authority, aims to enhance their drug treatment programme through external evaluation to reduce drug-related offending in the region.

## Notice

Drug Testing on Arrest (DToA) is a tool for identifying those offenders coming into police custody who are misusing drugs, specifically Opiates and/or Cocaine. A positive drug test for either substance can act as a gateway to facilitate access to treatment and to support to mitigate against drug-related harm, with the aim of reducing drug-related offending. Following a positive test there are also legal sanctions for those unwilling to address their drug use and associated offending. Leicestershire Police have received additional funding from the Home Office to increase the provision of DToA. This funding is being utilised to identify those coming into police custody who are suspected of misusing drugs (Opiates and/or Cocaine) but who are not currently engaged with local drug treatment services. We are looking to commission an evaluator to conduct an evaluation of Leicestershire Police's Intelligence Led Drug Testing on Arrest Programme.
