Tender description

The establishment of a DPS for the provision of Tier 4 Drug and Alcohol Placements under 4 Lots. Lot 1 — Residential detoxification with residential rehabilitation or structured day programme services (drugs and/or alcohol); Lot 2 — Residential rehabilitation and quasi-residential rehabilitation services (inclusive of first stage, second stage and aftercare for abstinent drugs and/or alcohol); Lot 3 — Non-residential structured day programmes services (abstinent drugs and/or alcohol); Lot 4 — Residential detoxification, stabilisation and assisted withdrawal services (drugs and/or alcohol) and for other local authorities who may wish to access the DPS at a later stage. The awarding authority is seeking to establish a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) with an approved list of high quality and committed providers with whom it can work in partnership with, to achieve the best possible outcomes for residents in the Borough that require the following 4 Lots of Tier 4 Drug and Alcohol Placements. Lot 1 — Residential detoxification with residential rehabilitation or structured day programme services (drugs and/or alcohol); Lot 2 — Residential rehabilitation and quasi-residential rehabilitation services (inclusive of first stage, second stage and aftercare for abstinent drugs and/or alcohol); Lot 3 — Non-residential structured day programmes services (abstinent drugs and/or alcohol); Lot 4 — Residential detoxification, stabilisation and assisted withdrawal services (drugs and/or alcohol). The awarding authority’s vision is for an approved list of high quality, outcomes focused providers supplying a range of high quality, safe, person-centred, evidence-based and best value for money services. These services will offer choice to enable placements to be aligned with presenting needs and will seek to maximise positive treatment outcomes as well as to improve the health, well-being and life chances of complex drug and/or alcohol dependent service users who are unable to be effectively managed through engagement with Tier 3 services. Residential drug and/or alcohol treatment forms an integral part of the local treatment system and the awarding authority seeks to appoint a number of providers of residential and non-residential structured day provision to meet the needs of complex dependent adult drug and/or alcohol users. All services being commissioned are non-substance specific and providers that can offer services to account for a range of substances and drug and/or alcohol treatment needs are sought.
