EASTERN SHIRES PURCHASING ORGANISATION
acting on behalf of
LEICESTERSHIRE DRUG & ALCOHOL ACTION TEAM
INVITATIONS TO TENDER:
Leicestershire Drug & Alcohol Action Team – DAAT – has identified the need to increase the provision of alcohol training to staff both within and outside of healthcare settings in order to provide tier one screening and brief interventions for alcohol misuse, which are aimed at contributing to the reduction of some of the negative impacts of alcohol misuse in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, and will help to deliver Local Area Agreement targets across the sub region.
Funding has been secured for two years, and to maximise the value obtained from the contract, service delivery must ideally commence in June or July 2009. (Any continuation beyond the two-year period will be dependent on continued funding.)
The Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (‘ESPO’) has been engaged by DAAT to manage a procurement process designed to identify and appoint a suitable provider for these training services.
