Gloucestershire Community Drug & Alcohol Recovery Service

Description

The Council requires a Provider to deliver a balanced drug and alcohol treatment and recovery system which will comprise the full menu of Service components described within the service specification found in the ITT. The Provider will be given the freedom to take a risk managed approach to manage demand for the Services and to configure the Services to maximise uptake within the Contract envelope. The Provider must ensure that the Service is sufficiently flexible to balance harm reduction and treatment approaches to effectively meet the needs of older more complex individuals requiring a wider range of health and social support needs, alongside the needs of younger less entrenched drug and/or alcohol users. In promoting sustainable recovery, the Provider is expected to develop and promote active use and building of community assets, including recovery communities, support groups and Lived Experience Recovery Organisations (LEROs). We expect potential contractors to meet a number of minimum standards, detailed in the ITT. We advise all interested contractors to read the entire ITT and all documents referenced or linked to within the ITT carefully, to inform themselves about the opportunity and whether they would be interested in submitting a response. Deadline for submitting a tender response: 3rd July 2023 10am. Please login to Procontract via www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk and register your interest in the opportunity. You will then be issued a confidentiality agreement which needs to be completed and sent via ProContract, in order to access the ITT documents. All questions related to this contract should be sent using the discussions function which will be available once you have logged in and registered your interest.
