Community Rehabilitation Service

Essex County Council is seeking to re-commission the Community Rehabilitation Service to secure a provider to deliver a community based intensive rehabilitation programme. The Council intends to follow the competitive process under the Provider Selection Regime (2023) to select a provider.

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.

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Contract Notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.

Additional information: The authority will follow the Provider Selection Regime (2023) competitive process for the evaluation and award of this opportunity.
