Drug and Alcohol Services Early Engagement Event
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Peterborough City Council is planning a procurement process for drug and alcohol services, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This initiative, labelled "Drug and Alcohol Services Early Engagement Event," falls under the community health services industry category and will take place in Peterborough, England. Currently at the planning stage, the process includes a budget of £19,000,000, spanning from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2031.
Interested parties are invited to attend an early engagement event: an in-person session on 29th April 2025 from noon to 1:30 PM at Sand Martin House, Bittern Road, Peterborough, and a virtual session via Teams on 9th May 2025 from 11:30 AM to 1 PM. Feedback from these sessions will be incorporated before the formal invitation to tender is issued. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those with experience in providing community health services, substance misuse treatment, and recovery programmes.
Suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), the project seeks providers capable of delivering early intervention measures, treatment, recovery services, and a holistic life skills offer for both adults and young people. Businesses that can form effective partnerships with primary care settings, education, statutory partners, and voluntary sectors are especially well-suited to compete. Participating in this tender could help businesses expand their service offerings and establish strong community ties while contributing to the public health infrastructure in Peterborough.
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. Substance Use Commissioners welcome the opportunity to discuss the proposed priorities with Providers to gain their feedback prior to an Invitation to Tender being issued. The face to face event will be held on 29th April 2025 from Noon to 1.30pm to be held in Sand Martin House, Bittern Road, Peterborough, PE2 8TY.
