two.2.4) Description of the procurement
There are four elements within the provision of the Dependency and Recovery service that the MoJ wish to explore, including the different ways in which they could be delivered, either together or separately. The elements are as follows:
1. Provision of Cannabis & other Psycho-active Drugs “unstructured” interventions
2. Provision of Alcohol Brief Interventions
3. Provision of wrap around support & brokerage services for relapse prevention, engagement and screening services
3. Improved liaison with treatment services
The MOJ is keen to engage with potential providers to gauge the appetite for the delivery of this provision, further develop the detailed design of the proposals (and explore ideas on divergent delivery models) and to identify opportunities and ways to overcome potential challenges. We also welcome engagement with the market to discuss the innovation, social value and specialist services that could be provided.
We are also interested in exploring opportunities to tailor service delivery, and develop specialist services for people on probation with complex needs, for example providing continuity of care for prison leavers who have taken harmful or prohibited substances whilst serving their sentence; members of LGBTQ who have engaged in chemsex.
The Authority will hold a video conference webinar (MS Teams) on 21st September 13:00-15:00pm with the organisations which express an interest in this initiative. The process through which this will be undertaken is as follows:
