Summary: Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned an all-age community drug and alcohol treatment and recovery service, alongside supported accommodation for people aged 25 and over with multiple and complex needs. The service combines adult substance misuse treatment, the young people’s substance misuse service previously delivered in-house, and accommodation support. Its purpose is to provide treatment, recovery support and accommodation as part of an integrated local response to substance misuse and complex needs. Delivery is in Barnsley. The council is the buyer, and the selected provider is Humankind Charity. The requirement spans health and social care services, treatment and recovery provision, and supported accommodation, rather than a single clinical or accommodation-only service.
