HCC 04/18 - The Provision of Drugs and Alcohol Treatment

Tender description

Hertfordshire County Council commissions treatment interventions for the population of Hertfordshire, specifically relating to their use and misuse of drugs and/or alcohol. A recent review of the Drug and Alcohol system in Hertfordshire has highlighted the need for two separate services to be available to the county of Hertfordshire: an all-age treatment service, and a community rehabilitation service. <br /> <br />Commissioning these services collaboratively addresses the Council’s need to provide drug and alcohol users of all ages, and their carers, with appropriate services, with improved pathways between services. <br /> <br />The new services will be procured under a single procurement process, with two separate Lots. Providers can bid for either Lot 1, or Lot 2 or both Lot 1 and Lot 2. Each Lot will have its own separate contract, and will be evaluated separately. <br /> <br />Please Note the TUPE Staffing Information for this procurement has been provided along with other documentation for this procurement.
