Addiction Services - Youth Service Pilot

The West Dunbartonshire Council is in the planning stage of a public procurement process for an "Addiction Services – Youth Service Pilot," focusing on general public services within the UKM81 region. This initiative, under the management of the Council’s Alcohol and Drug Partnership, aims to adapt support services for young individuals facing addiction challenges, responding to shifts in demographics and local needs. Interested parties, particularly those experienced in youth substance use services, are invited to participate in discussions on 15th May, from 10 am to 12 noon, at the Council's Head Office in Dumbarton.

This tender, identified under the title code 2425-51, is categorised under CPV codes including 85300000 and 98000000 and is currently in the planned procurement stage, with a future notice date set for 16th June 2025. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for providers specialising in youth services related to addiction support, aiming to shape future service provisions and outcomes. Businesses with experience in delivering innovative substance use interventions for young people will find this opportunity particularly aligned with their expertise.

Engaging in this pilot allows service providers to contribute to the development of responsive solutions tailored to evolving community needs, potentially positioning themselves as frontrunners in the sector. Given the strategic importance of this pilot programme, organisations that can bring adaptive, evidence-based approaches to youth addiction services are ideally suited for this opportunity.
