Scotland Excel, as the contracting authority, is overseeing this process. The procurement falls under the 'Rehabilitation services' industry category and is located in Scotland. Interested parties are invited to provide feedback by the deadline of 9 June 2023 to help shape the national framework agreement. This procurement process presents an opportunity for service providers in the health and social work sector, particularly those offering rehabilitation and counselling services. Businesses that can deliver quality care in residential settings and adhere to evidence-based practices are well-suited to engage in this tender. The planned procurement aims to enhance the delivery of health and wellbeing outcomes, offering a chance for providers to contribute towards improving the quality of care in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services in Scotland. ## 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. Following previous market research in July 2022 and January/February 2023, we are seeking further engagement with both current providers of residential rehabilitation services and those who may be interested in providing services in the future to inform development of a proposed national flexible framework agreement, in particular the proposed service and commercial requirements which may form part of the agreement. This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) relating to the engagement with interested parties, to assist with development. This is not a procurement process at this stage. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Scotland Excel has been commissioned by the Scottish Government to take forward the following work 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. Following a period of market research, Scotland Excel is now developing a national flexible framework agreement for residential rehabilitation services. Scotland Excel anticipates that a procurement process for a national framework will be undertaken and completed during the financial year 2023/2024. We are engaging with a range of stakeholders to help inform the national flexible framework agreement documents, in particular the service specification, pricing documentation, insurance requirements and monitoring. We would welcome input from both current providers and potential providers/interested parties who would be interested in contributing to this process. Participation is not mandatory and any party not participating will not be disadvantaged in any subsequent tender process.
