In plain English
South Ayrshire Council, on behalf of the South and East Ayrshire Alcohol and Drug Partnerships, is setting up a multi-lot framework agreement (a pre-approved list of providers) for alcohol and drug recovery services, with an estimated total value of £11,825,000. Approved providers can then be awarded individual contracts or partnership agreements, either directly or after a further competition between them.
What the buyer wants
• Be a suitably qualified service provider able to deliver high-quality alcohol and drug recovery services and supports • Offer services across the lots, such as recognising risk, reducing harm and coordinating care, and treatment and recovery • Submit a tender offer to join the framework, or, if already a provider, apply to add new services or supports
Lots
- Recognising Risk, Reducing Harm and Coordinating Care (Part A and B)
- Treatment and Recovery
- Whole Family Approach (including young people)
- Recovery Communities
- Independent Advocacy
- Consultancy Support
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice requires suitably qualified providers for high-quality recovery services across a £11.8m framework, which may favour established organisations with a strong track record, and the text provided does not state any specific financial, experience or insurance thresholds, and the lot descriptions are cut off so their full requirements cannot be confirmed.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This looks like a call-off from an existing framework, which usually means only suppliers already on that framework can bid. Check the notice before spending time on it.
