## Description
Luton is currently identified as a ‘Challenged Area’ by OHID in terms of drug and alcohol treatment services. This was due to a reduction in the number of those in treatment and the lack of referrals and engagement with the criminal justice system.  Numbers in treatment have increased significantly, including for those on the criminal justice pathway.  We are therefore looking to procure three different service lots.
Lot 1 - Luton clinical drug and alcohol treatment service – providing clinical intervention, psychosocial intervention, NICE guidelines, specialist children and young person’s service (8-24 years), in reach teams to hospital and Criminal Justice System
Lot 2 - A new support service which will work with those who are not ready or able to engage in formal structured treatment due to various complexities and interconnected needs.
Lot 3 – Luton specialist, independent drug and alcohol recovery service.
The services will form a joint alliance, offering integrated case management and utilising a robust Information Sharing Agreement. The three lots, plus the children and young person service, will be housed in separate accommodation to address the needs of the service users and providing a suitable safe space for service users on the different stages of their recovery, as per recommendations in the recent consultation.
Contract from 01 April 2025 to 31 March 2033 plus a 2 year extension to 31 March 2035.
All documents can be found on the ProContract (Proactis) e-tendering portal.  Being conducted under The Health Care (PSR) Regulations 2023.
Potential for additional grant funding to take contract value to £40,000,000, no guarantees.
