Alliance for Multiple Complex Needs

Torbay Council (TC) is embarking upon a new and innovative way of commissioning and procuring services for people who currently have to access multiple services to meet their support needs.

The Council would like the local system to improve the lives of people by supporting the whole person whilst also contributing to national strategic objectives in relation to: • Homelessness; • Children in care and care leavers; • Drug and alcohol treatment; • Reoffending rates; • Domestic and sexual abuse; • Preventing admissions to hospital; and • Urgent care targets.

TC have been exploring an Alliance commissioning model as a way of achieving their common goals.

In Torbay we have experience of alliances in the area of street homelessness where we have formed an alliance around delivery of government funding and Housing First.

This work will contribute to informing the future model for commissioning and delivery of a number of services in Torbay which include drug and alcohol, homelessness and domestic abuse and sexual violence services.

Following 4 successful engagement events held during 2019, we are now inviting stakeholders and providers of drug and alcohol, homelessness and domestic abuse and sexual violence services to express their interest informing part of the Alliance and, if so, which procurement approach to form a Multiple Complex Needs Alliance in Torbay from the options shown below would be your organisation's preferred option.

The Authority is seeking expressions of interest to establish whether it will procure the Lot 1 option or the Lot 2a,2b and 2c option.
