Commissioning of Drugs and Alcohol Services for Criminal Justice Services Users

Requests for expressions of interest in Commissioning Drugs and Alcohol Services for Criminal Justice Services Users and market engagement event.

Drugs and alcohol use contributes to a wide variety of harms within Warwickshire. Warwickshire County Council (WCC) has commissioned services which meet individual needs within the Warwickshire population who have drugs and alcohol issues. The Warwickshire Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) is seeking to re-commission services for Lot 1 for adults who are currently in or at risk of being in the criminal justice system.

The services will raise awareness of the impact of drugs and alcohol use among at-risk groups, promote independent and healthy living and support positive behavioural change. The services will also reduce the harm caused to families and communities and directly contribute to reductions in offending and re-offending behaviours by diverting people away from the criminal justice system.

The current contract for Adults Drugs and Alcohol Services for Criminal Justice Services Users with the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire (OPCC) is due to expire on 31st March 2024. Therefore, a full tender process will follow this Prior Information Notice (PIN) once a comprehensive set of specifications have been drafted.

Registration for the engagement event is via the messaging facility on the EU Supply portal.

It is important to note that participation in any future open tender process will be open to any supplier and participation at this stage is not a pre-requisite.
