The Service will continue to have the overarching aim of reducing the harms caused by drug and alcohol use. More specifically it will; prevent early mortality caused by drug and alcohol use; reduce levels of dependence; reduce levels of drug and alcohol crime; reduce demand on social care; improve the lives of children of parents with drug or alcohol problems; reduce the spread of infections associated with drug use; reduce hospital admissions and increase the number of people entering employment and positively contributing to the community. The Service will be key in supporting the attainment of the Government's goals of eradicating homelessness and Hepatitis C. The Service will target the full spectrum of substance use problems, from 'recreational' drug use and lower risk alcohol consumption to severe poly-substance dependence. This broad focus will be reflected in the Service adopting and combining both the harm reduction and recovery approaches to service delivery. It is expected that the new Service will increase the level of attention given to early interventions (i.e. primary prevention). The Service will continue to provide, within the scope of available funds, a holistic programme of treatment and support, this will include such things as support for families and carers, physical health care, mental health support, and access to training and employment programmes. The Contract Manager has been working closely with a significant number of stakeholders involved to create a specification that not only reflects the new budgetary requirements but allows the providers to consider how they might best meet the outcomes defined by the Contract Manager. The specification will therefore be a hybrid version of a requirement based specification and an outcome based specification. The Council believes that Providers are best placed to design the service that best supports the required contract outcomes within the parameters of the fixed contract price. The contract outcomes that the Council is seeking to achieve are detailed within the tender documents which are freely available on our procurement portal [supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk](https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk). The contract term is 5 years with options to extend by a further 2 years. The contract start date is April 2020.
