Herefordshire Council is seeking tenders for the delivery of Recovery-Oriented Substance Misuse Services to adults and young people, in community and criminal justice settings. The focus of these services is recovery from all substances of addiction, utilising pharmacological, psychosocial and recovery support mechanisms and ensuring individuals are capable of sustaining recovery, in the community, post treatment. All related services are included in this tender, except supervised consumption and pharmacy needle exchange. The supervised consumption and pharmacy needle exchange service will commence in year 2 of the contract with additional funding to be agreed. The successful bidder will be expected to provide this service from a commencement date to be advised.
With a population of approximately 184 000, Herefordshire represents an interesting challenge to the delivery of services, not least because of its rurality, containing small, diverse and widely separated communities. Substance misuse issues are distinct with an ageing opiate dependent population, high levels of harmful drinking patterns and alcohol dependence, with concomitant issues including domestic violence and children safeguarding. There is a sub-culture of novel psychoactive substance use, mixed with other substances.
Funding for the supervised consumption and pharmacy needle exchange services have not been included in the Maximum Budget Allocation figure in the Invitation to Tender, or within the Contract Notice estimated Contract Value figure, and will be in addition to these figures.
The Contact Duration will be for 3 years with options to extend on a 1 year + 1 year basis for up to a further 2 years subject to prevailing economic and commercial conditions, service utilisation and supplier performance at the sole discretion of the council.
This is a competitive procurement in accordance with the open process under the EU Procurement Directives and implemented in English Law in the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 (SI 2006 No.5) (PCR 2006), due to regulation 118 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No. 102).
