Tender description

Peterborough City Council will shortly be conducting a Competitive Process under the The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and will be recommissioning substance use services within the City and will be delivering two sessions (one face to face and one via Teams) to give an overview of our needs assessment and the proposed service model to Providers. There will be three specifications discussed at these events; 1) Core Service Specification Providers will be expected to deliver early intervention measures, as well as a treatment and recovery offer across the City, focusing on a strength based, person centred model where treatment outcomes are paramount. 2)Lived Experience Recovery Organisation Model The Council has an ambition to develop a Substance Misuse Lived Experience Recovery Organisation in Peterborough that is independent of the core service provision and would like to discuss proposals around this 3)Life Skills Specification Providers will be expected to deliver an offer that focusses on holistic and wrap around skills and support needed to sustain treatment outcomes. The proposed models will incorporate Adults, Children and Young People and will be expected to work in partnership with primary care settings, education, statutory partners, voluntary and faith sectors among others.
