Pan London Substance Use Programme - London Inpatient Detoxification and Stabilisation (IPD)

Description

The City of London Corporation (the City) is seeking to commission Provider organisations with demonstrable experience in delivering complex health and social care services to deliver Inpatient Detoxification and Stabilisation (IPD) beds. This model will support both London residents and individuals who are sleeping rough or at risk of sleeping rough. Building on the existing Pan-London Substance Misuse Programme, the Provider/s will help realise the City’s ambition to: • Establish long-term, sustainable, and geographically dispersed IPD provision that effectively meets diverse and complex client needs; and • Deliver equitable, pan London access to IPD beds for all London Local Authorities. Estimated Contract Value: £2.3m per year @ three-year contract = £6.9m plus potential for innovation fund. This initiative represents a significant opportunity to collaborate with partners across London to transform the delivery model for Inpatient Detoxification and Stabilisation (IPD) service. The aim is to create accessible, inclusive and responsive IPD delivery that supports health inclusion groups and contributes meaningfully to reducing health inequalities across the capital. The IPD provision will deliver a broad range of care to meet diverse and complex client needs. A key feature of the IPD service will be the strategic distribution of IPD bedspaces to support equitable access with a particular emphasis on increasing availability within London and surrounding region of M25 The model will encompass: • Specialist inpatient medically assisted withdrawal beds • Residential medically assisted withdrawal beds. To provide the required stability and guaranteed access, block booking of a proportion of IPD bed capacity will be essential.
