Summary, notice description and lot information
The Council of the Borough of Kirklees has awarded a contract for the provision of a Drug & Alcohol Dependency Advisor service in Dewsbury and Wakefield hospitals, targeting residents with drug and/or alcohol problems. This service falls under the "Hospital and related services" category (CPV code 85110000) and aims to support patients dealing with substance use issues. The procurement process, under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, confirmed the contract on 21st March 2025.

Companies with expertise in providing innovative, safe, and effective service models that support substance addiction patients both in hospital settings and upon discharge will find this contract particularly relevant. Entities skilled in inter-agency collaboration, gap identification, and targeted support for high-risk populations such as those in Kirklees will have a competitive advantage. Additionally, service providers with a track record of offering value for money and integrating smoothly with existing community services can significantly contribute to public health goals and gain a crucial partnership with the Kirklees council.
The Service is targeting Kirklees residents who are admitted to Dewsbury and Wakefield hospitals directly for a drug and/or alcohol problem or who have been identified as having a drug and/or alcohol problem but not necessarily been admitted for that.
The Kirklees district has a high rate of drug and alcohol related deaths as well as a high proportion of drug and alcohol users who do not access community drug treatment services for support. This service will support with Better and more integrated responses to physical and mental health issues from the Menu of Interventions provided by the Office of Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) (the funders). This will continue to assist more individuals accessing community treatment service for support with their drug and alcohol use. The service will continue to support the treatment of drug and alcohol dependency in secondary care and help provide on-going support for people to stop or reduce their drug and alcohol use in the hospital as an inpatient and following discharge. The service links with other community substance misuse services. Recognising that drug and alcohol dependency is a chronic, relapsing clinical condition that can lead to premature death, substance use is seen as a medical condition that can be treated, rather than as a lifestyle choice. The service supports a longer-term commitment to supporting people with substance use addiction. The service will increase the support offered to people accessing the Trusts services, to help them to stop using drugs and alcohol and to reduce harm from substance use.
