Kirklees Integrated Substance Misuse Service

Descriptions

Tenders are invited by the Council from Providers with relevant experience and ability to demonstrate sufficient capacity for the provision of Kirklees Integrated Substance Misuse Services (the "Services"). The Council is looking to procure a service which encompasses the full range of substance misuse interventions including, but not limited to, early intervention approaches, harm reduction, structured care and recovery supports. The service will be part of a wider system that the Council wants to refocus to a whole system prevention and recovery model. It is the Councils preference that this service will be delivered by a formal partnership of providers, which includes Kirklees third sector organisations, who have the skills, experience and relationships (to be developed as necessary) required to deliver the specified outcomes. It is further anticipated that during the life of the contract the provider(s), in partnership with the commissioner, will develop an consortia model with key partners who are involved in the delivery of relevant pathways that contribute to the achievement of the specified outcomes. The anticipated commencement date for the Contract is 1st October 2022 and the anticipated expiry date for the Contract is 30th September 2027 with the option to extend for up to a further sixty (60) months. Further details regarding the Services required are set out in the Specification and in the Conditions of Contract.
