Technical requirements: Torbay Council (TC) is embarking upon a new and innovative way of commissioning and procuring services for people who currently have to access multiple services to meet their support needs.

TC have been exploring an alliance commissioning model as a way of achieving their common goals. In Torbay we have experience of alliances in the area of street homelessness where we have formed an alliance around delivery of government funding and Housing First. This work will contribute to informing the future model for commissioning and delivery of a number of services in Torbay which include drug and alcohol, homelessness and domestic abuse and sexual violence services.
Following 4 successful engagement events held during 2019, we are now inviting stakeholders and providers of drug and alcohol, homelessness and domestic abuse and sexual violence services to express their interest in forming part of the alliance and, if so, which procurement approach to form a multiple complex needs alliance in Torbay from the options shown below would be your organisation’s preferred option.
