NHSGGC seeks to commission a supplier to deliver an overdose response and assertive outreach service.

The Service commissioned for NHSGGC will operate 7 days offering extended support (beyond statutory services to 10pm) to those who experience a near fatal overdose and may be disengaging from services. It will provide rapid support to those in crisis, to prevent an escalation of needs that may require emergency care, hospital admission, or an urgent housing or other intervention. Staff will rapidly and assertively reengage/engage people with mainstream services using agreed fast track referral processes and accessing same/next day prescribing.

The commissioned service will be a low-threshold drug and alcohol service based on an assertive outreach model that works in partnership with mainstream statutory and third-sector organisations.

The service will operate with a mix-skilled staff team to identify, respond and engage with individuals as close to the crisis point as possible. It will provide a fast, short, and focused response to Near-Fatal Overdose (NFO) in 24/48 hours, delivering harm reduction intervention, including Injecting Equipment Provision (IEP), Naloxone kit, Overdose Awareness and links with mainstream services, statutory and third-sector organisations.
