## Description
LOT 1 Specialist Problem Substance Use Treatment Service (SPSUTS) for Young People under18
years old to provide a range of evidence-based interventions supporting children and young people
to stop their problem substance use or to reduce harm related to their problem substance use.
This will in turn have an impact on reducing substance related harm in the context of families,
friends and the wider community including possible associated crime.
LOT 2 Support for Young Carers, the service aims to achieve improved health and wellbeing,
educational outcomes and access pathways to support for our young carers whilst protecting
them from inappropriate or excessive care and support to minimise the negative physical and
emotional impact of caring. Many young carers experience complexity in their lives through
overcrowded housing, social isolation, loneliness and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
particularly problematic substance use by parents, poor parental mental health and parental
separation recognizing that each young carer has their own gifts, attributes and strengths.
Both Lot1 and Lot2 contracts were tendered for up to eleven years (5+3+3).
