Key information
Overview
The Individual Placement Support (IPS) scheme aims to provide tailored employment support for individuals receiving structured community treatment for drug and alcohol dependence through the Suffolk Integrated Drug and Alcohol Treatment Service provider, Turning Point. The scheme is designed to support service users who are unemployed, as well as those currently employed but at risk of losing their employment, to obtain and sustain meaningful work. The target group will be users who are in structured treatment in our commissioned Integrated Drug and Alcohol treatment Service provider within Suffolk (Turning Point). The provider will need to work closely with Turning Point to ensure that people receive person-centred support, and outcomes are met. This will include co location in the three hubs across Suffolk and potential to work from satellite locations in the Suffolk area. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2029 (30 months) with an option to extend for up to a further 2 years (24 months). The contract value is £1,067,445 exclusive of VAT for the duration of the contract including extension.
