Pan London - In-Patient Detoxification and Stabilisation Universal Beds

Tender description

The City of London wishes to commission an organisation with relevant experience to provide a hospital-based inpatient detoxification and stabilisation (IPD) service for drugs and alcohol as part of a pan-London response to increasing inpatient detoxification capacity for substance misusers with co-morbid physical and mental health needs. The service will make a critical contribution to the wider strategic intention to reduce drug and alcohol related offending and reduce harm linked to substance misuse. The vision is to commission a high-quality, outcomes-focused service which offers safe, psychologically informed and person-centred, interventions which are evidence-based and represent good value for money. The service will seek to maximise positive treatment outcomes, as well as improve the health, wellbeing and life chances of alcohol and drug dependent service users who require inpatient detoxification. The duration of the contract is 6 months, subject to the right of the City (at its sole discretion) to exercise its right to extend the Contract for a further 12-month period. The maximum length of the contract is therefore 1.5 years. Please note that confirmed grant funding has been received from 01/10/2023 to 31/03/2024 and indicative grant funding has been received from 01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025. The services to be procured from the Contract are classified under Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as “Provision of services to the community” Therefore, the services advertised fall among those listed in Annex XIV to Directive 2014/24/EU and the full obligations set out in that directive do not apply. For the avoidance of doubt, the contract is to be procured in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 Regulations 74 to 78, more commonly known as the Light Touch Regime. The precise procurement process is described in the procurement documents.
