This initiative aims to provide interventions to reduce harm and prevent drug and alcohol-related deaths, particularly amongst high-risk individuals. The tender is currently active, with the contract anticipated to start on 1st August 2025 and last until 31st July 2027, with an optional extension of up to 12 months. The procurement follows an open procedure, with a budget of £600,000 for the initial two-year period. Bidders should note the emphasis on quality as the primary award criterion, and the deadline for tender submissions is 31st March 2025. This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and community service sectors to expand their engagement with public health initiatives, focusing on substance abuse intervention and support services. Companies with expertise in emergency response, public health, and social care services are well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, businesses could benefit from Renfrewshire Council's commitment to community benefits, which require bidders to propose contributions to local socio-economic growth. Organisations that can demonstrate expertise in managing complex health interventions, provide well-trained personnel, and show a record of similar service delivery may find this tender an excellent avenue for business growth and positive community impact. ## 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. The Service will include a nursing component as detailed further in the Service Specification. ### 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.
