Overview
The procurement is for a young people's alcohol and drugs treatment and support service in Southampton (for people up to and including the age of 24), which will provide information, advice, harm reduction, care co-ordination, and psycho-social interventions, as well as support for medical interventions. Help will be available to people whether the young person wants to be safer while using alcohol and drugs, reduce their use, stop using, or stay free from use.
The services will also help young people with tobacco-related harm, and young people who are vaping and using novel-nicotine products. Harm reduction is a principal aim of the services, with recovery seen as a desirable and achievable outcome.
These services will be evidence based and tailored to meet the needs of young people, working actively to reduce health inequalities in the City. The contract will run from 1st July 2026 through to March 31st 2029.
