Tender description

Camden Council is looking to recommission its substance misuse services, subject to completion of our governance requirements, with a view to new services commencing in April 2021. We are seeking innovative and new ways of working in order to improve outcomes for service users and their families. To help inform our new model, a market engagement event has been scheduled for suppliers to find out more information about the re-commissioning of Camden Substance Misuse Services. Suitable suppliers are hereby invited to attend. The details are as follows: Venue details: Crowndale Centre, 218 Eversholt St, London NW1 1BD Date: 31 March 2020 Time: 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. And network with other organisations. If you would like to attend please contact Emma Egglestone (Emma.Egglestone@islington.gov.uk) by Friday 27 March 2020. Camden’s priorities for the drug and alcohol treatment system are to continue to improve recovery outcomes, increase uptake of the most appropriate treatment for those who need it and ensure the treatment pathway meets the changing needs of the population of drug and alcohol users. This includes: — supporting clients with different patterns of drug and alcohol use (e.g. increasing use of novel psychoactive substances along with problematic use of alcohol and other poly-drug use); — increasing uptake of and engagement in, treatment for residents (increasing numbers entering drug and alcohol treatment services); — supporting families affected by drug and/or alcohol use to ensure that children are able to develop and flourish, with the aim of breaking familial patterns of substance use; — better identification and support for victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse; — ensuring an equitable focus on supporting users of alcohol; — supporting the treatment system to better promote recovery across all user groups; — supporting non substance misuse providers across the borough to identify emerging substance use needs and intervene earlier; — ensuring those accessing treatment services receive support that promotes and sustains their treatment, builds resilience and helps people recover and rebuild families e.g. housing, employment, positive social networks; — developing more flexible and personalised services, with a greater emphasis on community based programmes. The agenda will be circulated to suppliers that have registered no later than one week before the market engagement event. All information will be made available after the event and as part of the procurement documentation, where appropriate. If you would like to attend please submit your registration to Emma Egglestone (Emma.Egglestone@islington.gov.uk) by Friday 27 March 2020.
