The City of London (the City) is holding a commissioning role to secure and oversee various pan-London substance misuse treatment services. As part of the Government's ambition to end rough sleeping, grant funding in the form of a Rough Sleeping Drug and Alcohol Treatment Grant has been provided for a partnership-led pan London Substance Misuse Programme for people who sleep rough/in hostel accommodation/risk of return to the street. The City has agreed to act as the lead commissioner for this Programme using the grant funding obtained to commission a team to help people who are sleeping rough or at risk of sleeping rough who need support with their drug and alcohol addiction. The amount of grant provided for this pan-London service is fixed and needs to be spent in full. This grant requirement creates urgency around the process.
The City requires a provider with relevant qualifications, skills, and experience to deliver a homeless substance misuse engagement team with a focus on individuals who are sleeping rough or at risk of sleeping rough to support people into substance misuse treatment in London. This Service will make a critical contribution to the wider strategic intention to end rough sleeping and reduce harm linked to substance misuse. The Services are to commence from the 1st April 2024 to the 31st March 2026. 12-month optional extension is included which will be subject to grant funding being received.
It is an award of the contract in accordance with the Provider Selection Regime Regulations under Direct Award process C where there is an existing provider for the services and that existing provider is satisfying the original contract and will likely satisfy the proposed new contract, and where additionally the services are not changing considerably.
