## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council is undertaking a procurement process for an Adult Integrated Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery System under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This initiative is in the planning stage, with an online provider engagement event scheduled on 22nd July 2025. The services are in the health and community health sectors, servicing the region of Cambridshire, UK (UKH12). The contract, expected to commence on 1st April 2026, will run until 31st March 2029, with possibilities for renewal, funded by the Cambridgeshire Public Health Grant, valued at £5.1 million for 2025-26. The system will include early intervention, pharmacological treatment, harm reduction services, and psychosocial and recovery support among other specialised services.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs, in the health services sector. The engagement provides a platform for organisations offering innovative solutions in drug and alcohol recovery services to establish a presence or expand within Cambridgeshire. The contract encourages contributions from organisations capable of providing integrated treatment solutions, potentially involving collaborations across various sectors, including healthcare, social work, and community outreach. The provider engagement event offers valuable insights into forthcoming opportunities and expectations, making it ideal for businesses adept in adapting to changing public health service demands.

## Notice

Community drug and alcohol treatment and recovery provision for adults is currently commissioned through an Adult Integrated Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery System contract. The Cambridgeshire core Adult Drug and Alcohol Treatment Service (age 18 years +) provides all elements of drug and alcohol support and treatment including: * Early intervention advice and support * Pharmacological treatment * Harm reduction services * Pharmacy delivered services (including needle and syringe programmes, THN and supervised dispensing) * Psychosocial support * Recovery support * Community/inpatient detox, and residential rehabilitation * Workforce/stakeholder training The Cambridgeshire service has specialist staff/teams which include: * Psychology * Family safeguarding * Criminal justice * Hospital liaison * Social work/safeguarding * Nursing/clinical (inc community detox, BBV) * Primary care/place based early intervention (alcohol) * Cambridgeshire Recovery service (CRS) (co-produced) * Quality assurance * Media/comms The core Cambridgeshire Public Health Grant funded treatment contract value for 2025-26 is PS5.1 million. Since 2021, service delivery has been enhanced and expanded through investment from central government grants including the Rough Sleeping Drug and Alcohol Treatment Grant (RSDATG) and the Supplementary Substance Misuse Treatment and Recovery Grant (SSMTRG) (now referred to as DATRIG). The IPS service is delivered outside of the treatment service. The additional grant streams fund the provision of a dedicated rough sleeping drug and alcohol outreach team in Cambridge City (PS489k) and the supplementary grant funding provides an enhancement to the treatment service including the funding of additional front-line workers, training, tier 4 placements, dedicated CAB workers, buvidal and harm reduction focused work (1.1 million). Summary of Needs Assessment and Recommendations: A local drug and alcohol needs analysis has highlighted several key issues and recommendations. Children & Young People: * Highest unmet treatment need for OCU and alcohol in the 15-24 age range Adults: * Increase in numbers in treatment (currently 2900 adults in specialist treatment (rolling)) * A growing number of non-opiates entering specialist treatment (higher rates of unmet mental health need in this cohort) * Lower referral rates from health services * Underrepresentation of individuals with protected characteristics in specialist treatment. * Challenges around 'continuity of care' from prison to community. We will soon be launching a competitive process under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and are inviting potential providers to attend an online provider event on the 22nd of July 2025 at 14:00
