Oxfordshire County Council (CPU786)
Oxfordshire County Council Public Health Directorate are
seeking expressions of interest from organisations
interested in joining a Framework for the provision of
Residential Detoxification and/or Residential Rehabilitation
for adults with problematic substance misuse.
Oxfordshire make approximately 25 residential detoxification and 100 residential
rehabilitation placements per year, the majority of which are placed with
providers who sit on our current framework that was tendered in 2010; only
exceptional placements are made outside of this agreement.
The intention is to procure a new framework and commission in the region of
between 10-20 providers to sit on the Oxfordshire Framework. We intend to
procure a range of services offering different philosophies and treatment types.
It is expected that the Framework will commence on 1 May 2014, and will be for
a period of 4 years.
The majority of our annual placement budget, which is currently in the region of
£850,000 per annum (but may be subject to reductions), will be spent on individual
placements from this framework list, which will include facilities for male and
female only placements, people on Probation orders, people with learning
disabilities and people withmore complex physical or mental health needs. Details
of the form of Framework, Call Off procedure and Individual Contract will be
available as an attachment on the business portal below at the invitation to tender
stage of the procurement currently scheduled for 18 October 2013.
The Framework will include service providers who can offer one, two, three or all
of the following placement stages:
• Residential detoxification only (as a standalone treatment option);
• Residential detoxification, as preparation for residential rehabilitation;
• Residential rehabilitation stage one;
• Residential rehabilitation stage two.
We do not fund placements that total 26 weeks or more for all stages.
Our tender process will be conducted under a two stage procedure. Oxfordshire
County Council will not be bound to award any contract under this tender process.
