SOFT MARKET TEST- Substance Misuse Services

Current contracts for this service end in 2021 and the Commissioners are reviewing their substance misuse services to inform their future commissioning and procurement activity. The Commissioners continue to see the benefits of working in partnership and recognise that service delivery should respond to the differing needs of each area. In line with this thinking Leicestershire County Council is undertaking a soft market test, which focuses on the needs of Leicestershire county residents. The budget for Leicestershire County Council, only, will be in the region of £3.85M. Leicestershire County Council will be seeking solutions that present value for money. The questions in this soft market test will be used by Leicestershire County Council, and its partners to inform future service models and specifications. Keywords: Substance, Misuse, Services
