The Service will be referred to as the Gateshead Recovery Partnership (GRP). The Council anticipates that it is unlikely that one provider would be able to fulfil all the obligations of this Specification for a fully integrated service, therefore, consortia and or sub-contracting arrangement will be accepted. The requirement for the new model to be fully integrated and outwardly focused is in order to promote the belief in the achievability of recovery and to enhance integrated and streamlined working practices with other services
