Medically Managed Inpatient Detoxification for people with drug and or alcohol problems

Tender description

Please note that this is not a call for competition Staffordshire County Council is acting on behalf of a regional consortium of Local Authorities across the West Midlands region (potentially also including Northamptonshire) to procure medically managed inpatient detoxification for people with drug and/or alcohol problems. Funding is available for one year in the first instance. However, we may award a contract for a longer period (potentially up to seven years), should future funding be made available. The consortium of local authorities wish to contract with a consortium (led by a single organisation) of service providers in order to provide additional capacity to meet the demand for this service from across the West Midlands region (potentially also including Northamptonshire) in an easily accessible manner - either through locations within or close to the region or through the ability to make the service accessible for our residents (such as the provision of transport). As a consortium, we wish to work in a flexible manner with a group of service providers to collaboratively create a stable funding arrangement for services and a fair and equitable manner of allocating capacity to commissioning areas. Ideally capacity for the service will be available from the start of the contract (likely to commence in July/ August 2021), although we appreciate that it may take some time to create the level of capacity required to fully meet demand. It is anticipated that tender documentation will be available April/May 2021 and a bidders' event will be arranged shortly after.
