Community Rehabilitation Service

Description

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 service will be commissioned between 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2030, with a possibility for a 2 year extension until 31 March 2032.
