The procurement process is currently active, with the contract anticipated to commence on 1st July 2025 and end on 30th June 2027, with a possible extension of up to 12 months subject to funding availability. The submission deadline for this tender is 17th February 2025 at 12:00 PM. The service will be delivered in Renfrewshire, covering the UKM83 region, and has a total budget of £900,000 for the initial period, with yearly allocations of £300,000 per annum. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those with experience in crisis intervention, drug, and alcohol treatment. Ideal candidates would be businesses capable of providing emergency response services, support for high-risk drug users, and collaborative interventions with key agencies. Firms able to demonstrate compliance with the specified insurance requirements and provide suitably qualified staff for high-risk health and safety conditions will be well-positioned to benefit from this contract. Community benefits and social value contributions, such as offering Community Benefit Points, are essential aspects of this tender, reflecting the Council's commitment to broader social impact through its procurement activities. ## Notice The requirement is for an Alcohol and Drugs Crisis Outreach Service that will operate to reduce harm, save lives, and improve access to treatment and care by providing key interventions to prevent drug and alcohol-related deaths. In line with the MAT standards, the key aims of a Crisis Outreach Service would be to engage with individuals at higher risk of overdose and those who have experienced a near fatal overdose to provide care and support to increase access to life saving protective treatment. The key elements of the response we need for Renfrewshire are as follows: - Emergency response: maximise capacity and capability of services, families and friends and agencies to deal with a potentially fatal overdose by being properly equipped and trained. - Reducing risk: maximising support, access, and the range of practical and appropriate choices of pathways for anyone with high-risk drug use; and - Reducing vulnerability: link with key agencies addressing issues that can predispose vulnerable people to move into higher-risk use of drugs and reducing the associated impact on wider communities. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Tender Procedure shall be conducted in accordance with an above Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) Threshold Open Tender procedure relating to a Services Contract for a Social and Other Specific Service.
