This procurement falls under the 'Health services' category and is a service-oriented contract with a value of £58,000,000. The Council aims to establish a balanced treatment and recovery system, promoting sustainable recovery and active community involvement. The deadline for tender submission is 3rd July 2023 at 10 am, and the contract period is initially 5 years with optional extensions. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the health services sector interested in delivering drug and alcohol treatment services to complex individuals. Companies with experience in managing demand, harm reduction approaches, and community engagement are well-suited to compete. By emphasising flexibility and community building, potential contractors can address the diverse needs of older complex individuals and younger drug/alcohol users. The open procedure procurement stage allows for fair competition, promoting transparency and equal opportunity for interested service providers. ## Notice The Council requires a Provider to deliver a balanced drug and alcohol treatment and recovery system which will comprise the full menu of Service components described within the service specification found in the ITT. The Provider will be given the freedom to take a risk managed approach to manage demand for the Services and to configure the Services to maximise uptake within the Contract envelope. The Provider must ensure that the Service is sufficiently flexible to balance harm reduction and treatment approaches to effectively meet the needs of older more complex individuals requiring a wider range of health and social support needs, alongside the needs of younger less entrenched drug and/or alcohol users. In promoting sustainable recovery, the Provider is expected to develop and promote active use and building of community assets, including recovery communities, support groups and Lived Experience Recovery Organisations (LEROs). We expect potential contractors to meet a number of minimum standards, detailed in the ITT. We advise all interested contractors to read the entire ITT and all documents referenced or linked to within the ITT carefully, to inform themselves about the opportunity and whether they would be interested in submitting a response. Deadline for submitting a tender response: 3rd July 2023 10am. Please login to Procontract via www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk and register your interest in the opportunity. You will then be issued a confidentiality agreement which needs to be completed and sent via ProContract, in order to access the ITT documents. All questions related to this contract should be sent using the discussions function which will be available once you have logged in and registered your interest. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Council requires a Provider to deliver a balanced drug and alcohol treatment and recovery system which will comprise the full menu of Service components described within the service specification found in the ITT.
