Technical requirements: Lot 2 — The Public Health Department of Hammersmith and Fulham, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the City of Westminster are seeking to commission a provider(s) to deliver services for their populations in the provision of substance misuse services. The aim of the service is to:
• transform community services in order to bridge the gap between the needs for services and meet the changing substance misuse needs of residents across the three boroughs,
• embed a culture of active and inventive methods of service user involvement which permeate services delivery,
• embody an ethos of ambition for individual success and demonstrate a proactive approach using entrepreneurship, in developing opportunities for individual success and sustainable recovery.
The provider(s) will deliver recovery focused alcohol specific treatment interventions that will work in an integrated way with the Provider (s) of the substance misuse contract (Lot 1) and other existing contract providers and address alcohol related needs. The commissioners will work with the provider to transform adult alcohol service provision and embed a whole systems approach in order to increase the number of people able to achieve sustained recovery from dependence by providing individual support and treatment packages of care.
A procurement exercise was conducted in 2016 to appoint a suitably qualified contractor who would provide alcohol specific treatment intervention services within the London borough of Westminster, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and Hammersmith and Fulham following the Restricted route to market.
Please note, this contract modification concerns the Westminster City Council (WCC) Contract and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) Contract only. The total modification values below include WCC and RBKC spend only.
Modification notice to cover a 3-month extension to an existing contract covering alcohol specific treatment intervention services within Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London. A procurement exercise is being conducted (Notice Ref: 2020/S 045-107609) for the future provision of these services. During this procurement, Tenderers requested an extension to the mobilisation period to allow for a minimum of 3 months should a different contractor be successful. The existing contract has been extended for a period of 3 months in order to allow for a 3-month mobilisation period following the award from the procurement exercise. The existing contracts are now due to expire on 30 June 2021 with new service provision commencing on 1 July 2021.
Short term solution with a competitive exercise being conducted in parallel for future service provision. Due to the short term nature of this extension it would not have been feasible for an alternative provider to deliver these services for the 3 month period.
