The Contract is to provide a recovery focused Integrated Substance Misuse Treatment and Recovery Service ("the Service") that will improve the health and well-being of non-opiate, opiate and alcohol users. The Service shall use a holistic approach including specialist treatment and recovery focused support assisting Service Users to identify and build on their strengths and optimise treatment outcomes by developing and sustaining recovery capital alongside the provision of good quality, evidence based treatment interventions in line with guidance and local protocols. The Service shall aim to prevent problematic substance misuse and dependency whilst enabling Service Users to be free from substance dependency and sustain long term recovery.

The Contract will commence on 1st April 2018 and, subject to satisfactory performance, will operate for a period of three (3) years, terminating at midnight on 31st March 2021 ("the Contract Period"). At the sole discretion of the Authority and subject to the satisfactory performance of the provider the Contract Period may be extended for up to two (2) years (in such period or periods as the Authority deems appropriate) providing a total possible Contract Period to midnight on 31st March 2023.

The budget available for the Contract is between £2,160,000 and £2,400,000 per annum and is dependent on activity. Those submitting a Tender shall be required to perform all requirements of the Contract within the budget available for the Contract. However, Tenders will be judged on value for money and the Contract may be awarded to organisations who submit lower priced Tenders where the quality of the Service is assured. Any Tenders submitted above the allocated budget for the Contract will not be accepted.
