two.1.4) Short 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).

two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Specialist problem substance use services for young people are normally separate from adult treatment services because young people’s alcohol and drug problems tend to be different from adults’ and need a different response. This includes:
• being child centred.
• considering the age and maturity of young people.
• acting on safeguarding concerns.
• making sure the young people do not mix with adults who use drugs.
These services support young people, help them to reduce the harm their alcohol or drug use causes them and try to prevent it from becoming a bigger problem as they get older. This can also include supporting young people in the context of parental / carer problem substance use where identified. Services should be part of a wider network of local prevention services that support young people with a range of needs and help them to build their resilience.
