Hampshire County Council is seeking to commission a county-wide service for Integrated Adult Substance Misuse Recovery via a restricted tender procedure.

The Hampshire Operational Model for Effective Recovery (HOMER) is a recovery-orientated, integrated-care approach to tackling adult drug and alcohol treatment misuse and its harms which, since its inception in 2011, has proved effective in securing sustained recovery for drug and alcohol misusing clients and in delivering support for their carers and families.

Hampshire County Council wishes to re-commission the key specialist functions of the HOMER system as an integrated countywide provision encompassing treatment tiers 2, 3 and 4 and specialist carers' support. The service will work closely with our Substance Misuse Social Work Team, the Hampshire Supporting Troubled Families Programme, Integrated Offender Management Service, our Pharmacy-based Drug Treatment Service and other health and social care partner agencies and mutual aid groups to deliver a holistic and managed pathway from engagement through to aftercare which secures improvements in the following key result areas:

— levels of engagement,

— levels of recovery capital,

— levels of successful completions for drug and alcohol clients,

— value for money.

Hampshire County Council proposes to enter into a contract with an initial term of three years with an optional extension for up to a further two years, which will be awarded to the successful tenderer. The maximum budget available for the tendered services is 41 290 000 GBP for a total period of five years. Anticipated contract commencement will be 1.4.2015. TUPE may apply.
