II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Qualitative work with services and service users - An initial piece of qualitative work has recently been commissioned and will work with service providers and users, looking at the potential for people switching substances as a consequence of the introduction of a minimum price for alcohol. This will also look at additional support required to help people prepare. That work has been commissioned as a stand alone separate contract as the feedback on support needs is required during the implementation phase. This can, however, act as baseline work with this group. The requirement of this lot is to undertake further work with services and service users post implementation.
