York Drug and Alcohol Treatment & Recovery Service

The Council is seeking to procure an integrated alcohol and drug treatment and recovery service to be available to all residents within the City of York local authority area. This will be an all-age service, providing dedicated support for adults and children/young people. The Service will have recovery as its core outcome and recognise the role that trauma exposure can have on individuals; these key principles will be threaded throughout the whole customer journey from assessment to completion of treatment.. The Service will provide treatment and support interventions that enable customers to achieve successful completion of treatment and sustainable recovery from drug and/or alcohol use disorders. The provider will be able to work with customers with complex needs while also having robust expectations of customers and the outcomes they can achieve. The provider is expected to use trauma-informed practice, evidence of what works, to innovate and to develop their staff to deliver outcomes that are meaningful for customers, families, stakeholder agencies and communities. The Contract will be for an initial contract period of 5 years with an option to extend for a further period of up to 5 years. Therefore, the total possible Contract duration is 10 years. The total budget available for the initial five (5) year Contract is £9,000,000 (£1,800,000 per year), with the possibility, subject to external funding becoming available and totally discretionary, for the City of York Council to add up to a further £300,000 per year, taking the potential total contract value for the initial contract period of 5 years to £10,500,000. If the full extension period of a further 5 years then the total contract value would be a potential £21,000,000.
