Brief

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), through the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), is seeking to commission an evaluation of a pilot initiative aimed at improving access to inpatient detoxification and residential treatment for people experiencing rough sleeping in London. This is a market engagement exercise to assess supplier interest, capability, and capacity. The evaluation will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data on treatment pathways and outcomes with qualitative insights from service users and professionals involved in referral, treatment, residential rehabilitation, and commissioning. The successful supplier will help DHSC/OHID assess how effectively the pilot improves treatment access, evaluate outcomes for service users, and identify practical lessons to inform future policy and service delivery. Budget: £200,000. This is preliminary market engagement and not a formal call for competition. Suppliers interested in tendering must complete a capability assessment to be eligible for invitation to tender if a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) procurement strategy is used.
