Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) Treatment Services Program 2021-2023

⁠⁠⁠The Adelaide Primary Health Network (Adelaide PHN) AOD Treatment Services Program 2021-2023 (the Program) aims to deliver a range of high quality, person-centred AOD treatment interventions to priority populations in the Adelaide metropolitan region, in accordance with the Adelaide PHN Alcohol and Other Drugs Treatment and Quality Framework (Treatment Framework).
Under the Program Adelaide PHN is commissioning services within the following priority areas:
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people;
- Young people aged 10-25 years with complex needs;
- Young people aged 10-25 years; and
- Other Population-based priority groups.
and invites proposals from suitably qualified and experienced organisations located within the state of South Australia.
The Treatment Framework provides detail on the priority populations and treatment interventions in scope and seeks to establish consistency across Adelaide PHN AOD commissioned service providers. The Treatment Framework forms part of this tender documentation (refer Appendix A - Adelaide PHN Alcohol and Other Drugs Treatment and Quality Framework).
Proposals will be welcomed from private not-for-profit or private for-profit organisations that have the capacity and capability to deliver the services. Independent or joint (business consortium, partnership or joint venture) tenders from any such organisations are welcomed. This invitation is not open to public sector agencies.
Adelaide PHN is seeking to commission AOD treatment services over the period 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2023.
It is expected that from April 2021 - 30 June 2021, the successful applicant(s) will support the transition of any active clients from Adelaide PHN AOD commissioned service providers where the service(s) will cease to be delivered from 1 July 2021.
The successful applicant(s) will be expected to commence delivery of the services by 1 July 2021.
Adelaide PHN is one of 31 independent organisations nation-wide that are funded by the Australian Government to coordinate and improve primary health care services in their local areas.
The Australian Government's objectives for Primary Health Networks (PHNs) are that they will:
- increase the efficiency and effectiveness of health services for patients, particularly those at risk of poor health outcomes; and
- improve coordination of care to ensure patients receive the right care in the right place at the right time.
Adelaide PHN's catchment area covers the Adelaide metropolitan area, reaching from Sellicks Hill to Angle Vale and from the foothills to the sea. It encompasses a community of some 1.2 million people.
Adelaide PHN aims to improve health outcomes for the community by commissioning services to address local needs. It is guided by community, clinical and stakeholder input.
