What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionEssex County Council is re-commissioning the Community Rehabilitation Service to deliver a community based intensive rehabilitation programme. This is a notice for intention to award a contract under the PSR competitive process, with approximate lifetime value of £4,500,000.
This is an existing service which will be re-commissioned between 1 April 2025 - 31 March 2030.
The service contributes to a number of commitments within ECC’s four-year plan, Everyone’s Essex, notably to support healthy lifestyles and level up health. The service has a significant impact on the Council’s commitment to promoting health, care and wellbeing for all the parts of our population who need our support, including vulnerable adults, children and families. Essex County Council has also been greatly influenced by the Think Family initiative and has built on this by ensuring that all its commissioned services offer and/or provide support services to whole families where they are affected by someone else’s drug and/or alcohol misuse.
The service provided will form the core part of a county-wide health, adult and young people’s social care, youth offending, police, probation, prison and independent sector recovery-based response to substance misuse in Essex.
