## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is currently in the tender stage for the procurement of a Dual Diagnosis Service aimed at supporting individuals experiencing rough sleeping. This contract, with the title "Invitation to tender for the provision of a Dual Diagnosis Service for People Experiencing Rough Sleeping (2022-25)", falls within the category of community, social, and personal services and is set to begin on 1 July 2022, lasting for a duration of 9 months with the potential for two 12-month extensions until 31 March 2025. The deadline for bid submissions is 2 May 2022, and the procurement method follows an open procedure.

This opportunity presents significant business growth potential particularly for organisations specialised in mental health and substance misuse services, as well as those with experience in supporting rough sleepers. Providers with capabilities in trauma-informed practices and leadership in health service integration would be well-positioned to compete effectively, especially as GMCA aims to expand its service across all Greater Manchester boroughs over the course of the contract. Moreover, businesses that can demonstrate quality service delivery in this sector, given that the evaluation criteria heavily favour qualitative factors, can leverage their expertise to secure future contracts.

## Notice

The GMCA are looking for a provider to deliver a comprehensive Dual Diagnosis support service consisting of three strands: *Supporting individuals: supporting people with mental health and/or substance misuse issues by providing brief interventions or by making onward referral to other mental health services and preparing clients for the next step. *Supporting the workforce: work alongside the Local Authority Rough Sleeping Teams and other health services to develop psychologically and trauma informed practice, providing advice and assistance on the best way to support people experiencing homelessness and occurring Mental Health and substance misuse issues. *Providing Leadership: influencing change throughout the wider health system by: promoting Inclusion Health principles, generating evidence of interventions and approaches that work well for homeless cohorts and sharing best practice in relevant forums and governance structures. The intended contract commencement date is 1 July 2022, with a contract duration of 9 months, with the option to extend for two further 12 month periods (up to 31st March 2025). Core funding will be provided, subject to the continued receipt of Rough Sleeper Initiative Page 4 to 7 funding and may be subject to change throughout the life of the contract. GMCA is aiming to expand beyond the existing 4 boroughs, with a view to a service which covers that whole of Greater Manchester by Year 3. This process will be gradual over the life of the contract and the contract value is anticipated to increase (subject to RSI funding) as Boroughs take up the service.
