Staffordshire County Council wish to invite
expressions of interest from innovative and
experienced organisations that can enable
people to achieve a range of outcomes that will
improve the lives of individuals, families and
communities affected by drug and alcohol issues.
The procurement exercise will involve three
Lots, each covering separate geographic areas,
as defined by the boundaries of the eight district
councils within Staffordshire (excluding Stoke-
on-Trent):
Lot 1 ‘North’ – Newcastle-under-Lyme and
Staffordshire Moorlands
Lot 2 ‘West’ – Cannock Chase, Stafford and
South Staffordshire
Lot 3 ‘East’ – East Staffordshire, Lichfield
and Tamworth
Each of the three Lots will involve a single
contract that will cover a comprehensive range
of community (i.e. non-residential) interventions
for adults (and their families), representing the
majority of specialist drug/alcohol services in the
defined geographic areas.
The interventions will be expected to enable
people to holistically address their problems and
build the strengths (skills and interests) required
to achieve sustainable recovery. Services will be
expected to work closely with other health and
social care providers (education, housing,
employment etc.) and community-assets, such
as voluntary associations and peer-led initiatives.
Whilst a single contract will be held by a lead or
prime provider (or joint venture/collaboration –
acting as the lead) in each area, the lead/prime
provider is expected to sub contract some inter-
ventions to organisations with specialist expertise.
The new contracts will commence on April 1st
2014 and are likely to be worth between £2m-
£2.5m per lot each year for an initial period of
three years with the possibility of extending for
up to two further years.
This will be an e-tender opportunity therefore
interested organisations should register NOW
on http://www.staffordshire.alito.co.uk/. Here
you will be able to read further information
about the tender and receive alerts once the
tender has been advertised.
Pre-Qualifying Questionnaires (PQQs) are
likely to be issued mid-June with a closing date
for submission likely to be around mid-July.
