Lincolnshire County Council is looking to carry out pre-market engagement for the countywide Substance Misuse Services. The current contracts for Treatment, Recovery and Family support services end on the 31 March 2024 and the Council has started its re-commissioning programme.
A pre-market questionnaire has been published on Pro-contract. The deadline for the return of the questionnaire is 17:00 on the 10 January 2023. The Council will then look at the feedback and may wish to do further engagement on the responses received. More information on the existing services including the demand profile and budget information along with the Council's current thinking on the new model and approach are all detailed on the Pre-market Engagement Questionnaire.
The questionnaire is available on Pro-Contract at https://procontract.due-north.com which we also will be using to publish the ITT later in 2023.
