    Brief

    Essex County Council is seeking suppliers to deliver an AI-powered Recovery Support Assistant that provides accessible support to residents struggling with drug and alcohol use, including those with complex needs. The platform will be delivered via WhatsApp and web interface, offering 24/7 guidance and support alongside existing council services without replacing them. The service targets Essex residents aged 18 and over affected by substance use, with no upper limit on the number of service users. This is a market engagement questionnaire to assess supplier capability, ensure specification feasibility, and confirm the solution meets residents' recovery needs. Suppliers should demonstrate expertise in AI-powered support systems, substance abuse recovery services, and digital accessibility for vulnerable populations.
