Integrated Young People's Substance Misuse and Sexual Health Service

The London Borough of Lewisham is seeking to commission an integrated Substance Misuse and Sexual Health Service for children and young people aged 10-25. The Service will deliver information, advice and early, preventative interventions relating to substance misuse and sexual and reproductive health, including brief educational and psychosocial support. Where needs are identified, the Service will also provide specialist, structured treatment and case management for substance misuse, alongside supported access to relevant clinical and specialist provision across both substance misuse and sexual health pathways.

The contract will be between the successful Tenderer and the Council for an initial term of three (3) years. At the Council's sole discretion, the Contract may be extended for up to two further periods of three (3) years each, subject to satisfactory performance and ongoing service requirements. This would result in a maximum potential contract duration of nine (9) years.

It is expected that the successful Tenderer will commence delivery of the Service from April 2027.
