Tender description

The new contract will create a significantly different approach to recovery which offers a more integrated, seamless pathway, ensuring consistent care and providing the right kind of expert support at the right time. The successful provider will also need to develop relationships with partners across the borough to ensure that local community assets (e.g. community centres, GP surgeries) are used for service provision. The premise(s) will be the responsibility of the service provider. Islington Council invites suitable expressions of interest from suppliers for the delivery of an integrated substance misuse recovery service for adults misusing drugs or alcohol. Treatment services, in scope of this major service redesign, are currently delivered through nine contracts. The new contract will bring these services together under one contract, in order to create a significantly different approach to recovery which offers a more integrated, seamless pathway, ensuring consistent care and providing the right kind of expert support at the right time. The contract period will be for sixty (60) months from an estimated start date of 1.4.2018 with options to extend up to a further forty-eight (48) months in two (2) twenty-four (24) month periods.
