Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Scotland is setting up a long-term flexible framework agreement to buy residential rehabilitation services for people recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. This is an open call for new providers to join the framework, which will operate continuously. The estimated total value is £60 million, but this is a ceiling only and there is no guarantee of any actual work.

What the buyer wants

• Provide residential rehabilitation programmes that support individuals to become alcohol and drug-free and reintegrate into society • Deliver intensive psychosocial support and structured daily activities that residents must attend over a fixed period • Provide supported accommodation services that meet the rehabilitation definition • Be prepared to add or alter your service offerings during the agreement if needed

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a specialist healthcare/social care contract: you will almost certainly need CQC registration, clinical staff with formal qualifications in addiction treatment, and the ability to operate a residential facility. Most small tradespeople will not qualify unless they are already established providers in this sector.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
