This tender, titled "Residential Rehabilitation (Alcohol and Drugs) - national commissioning," aims to develop a comprehensive approach to the commissioning and procurement of rehabilitation services. The process is currently in the research phase, with a deadline for responses set for 22 July 2022. The relevant industry category is rehabilitation services, and the activities will be executed across various locations in the UK, with important discussions anticipated to commence in early 2023. This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in providing rehabilitation, health, and social services. Companies that specialise in counselling, support services, and health care provision will find this tender particularly relevant, as the Scottish Government seeks to gather insights from both existing and prospective service providers. Engaging in this initial research phase will allow businesses to shape future commissioning arrangements, potentially leading to lucrative contracts in providing much-needed rehabilitation services to those in need. ## Notice The Scottish Government has commissioned Scotland Excel to undertake research and development work on a national approach to commissioning and procurement of alcohol and drug residential rehabilitation services. This work is part of a national programme of work involving a range of statutory and non-statutory partners. We are seeking information from both current providers of residential rehabilitation services and those who may be interested in providing services in the future to help inform the appraisal of options for national commissioning, contracting and purchasing arrangements. This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) relating only to the engagement with interested parties, for market research purposes to inform potential future commissioning activity. This is not a procurement process at this stage. Please disregard the "Estimated date of publication of contract notice date" at II.3). ### Lot Information Lot 1 Scotland Excel has been commissioned by the Scottish Government to take forward the following work strand as part of the National Mission to reduce drug-related deaths and harms: Exploring and developing a national approach to commissioning residential services Objective: A more effective and efficient mechanism for referral and procurement will lead to delivering better health and wellbeing outcomes for people. Alongside this, essential standards will guarantee quality of care and evidence-based practice in residential rehabilitation. In the research phase of this work, we intend to investigate how national commissioning arrangements may be able to help improve access, capacity and standards of services available to people who require residential rehabilitation, and to set out options for development of a national approach.
