EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
Swindon Borough Council Drug and Alcohol Action Team
(Swindon
DAAT) invite expressions of interest from suitably qualified and
experienced service providers for the provision of an Adult Community
Drug Treatment and Recovery Service throughout the Borough of
Swindon, serving a population of approximately 200,000 residents.
The Adult Community Drug Treatment and Recovery Service is a
newly designed, recovery focussed service where a successful
provider will ensure seamless and accessible pathways for service
users by providing:
• Intake Service
• Clinical Service
• Recovery Service
Full details relating to the three service elements are provided in
the Invitation to Tender (ITT) document:
The resources, range and depth of skills needed to provide the
service are such that it is the expectation of Swindon DAAT that
some organisations may wish to collaborate to form a
consortium in order to bid, with a lead organisation becoming
the main contracting party with the Swindon DAAT. However, this
does not preclude a single provider tendering all the resources
and services required by the Invitation to Tender.
The contract will be initially for a period of 4 years
commencing 1 April 2013 with an option to extend for a further
12 months subject to satisfactory performance This is a
competitive tender, and a contract will be awarded to the
organisation that is deemed to represent the most economical
and advantageous tender.
