Description

Liverpool City Council is seeking to re-procure its Community Drugs service. This contract will exist as part of a rich network of support organisations and as such will be delivered at different levels (specialist, targeted and universal) with interventions and care ‘phased’ and ‘layered’ in accordance with the individual treatment and recovery plan to meet individual need and maximize positive outcomes. The Provider will be directly responsible for the effective delivery of the following specific elements: • Pharmacological / substitute prescribing (non-complex) • Psychosocial Interventions & Counselling • Prevention & Harm reduction interventions • Recovery support interventions • Criminal Justice Interventions – Alcohol Treatment Requirement (ATR) • Assessment and preparation for Inpatient detoxification and stabilisation and residential rehabilitation. • Employment, Training & Education • Outreach and Community Engagement • Programme delivery – ADDER • Programme delivery - IPS • Young People’s Drug & Alcohol Service (*) The provider will also be expected to support the delivery of both the ISP and the ADDER programmes locally. The Provider will ensure effective integration with those services which are not included in the current re-procurement process and also with the wider health and wellbeing agenda. In addition to providing specialist substance misuse treatment, the Provider will also ensure that each individual is supported to draw upon, develop and enhance his or her ‘recovery capital’, in line with the previous National Drug Strategies, building their resources to start and sustain recovery from drug and alcohol dependence, including through: • Social capital; the resource a person has from their relationships (e.g., family, partners, children, friends, and peers). This includes both support received, and commitment and obligations resulting from relationships. • Physical capital; Such as money and a safe place to live (e.g. financial assets, stable accommodation). • Human capital; Skills, mental and physical health, and a job / employment, education • Cultural capital; Values, beliefs and attitudes held by the individual. As this service will commence during significant change and transition within the local and national public sector, elements of this service specification maybe subject to change. Liverpool City Council (LCC) will work closely with the Provider during the lifetime of the contract to ensure the specification remains relevant to both those who use the service and the partnership it links into. The provider must recognise the need to be responsive to changing needs and emerging trends within Liverpool – this may include emerging need, new technologies, changing population profile, and/or changing behaviours. The service is required to be provided across the city in a range of settings by a multi–disciplinary team of clinical and non-clinical professionals. This will be a 1 + 1 year contract.
