Summary, notice description and lot information
Lancashire County Council has completed the procurement process for the Adult Community Substance Use Treatment and Recovery Services, a rehabilitation service aimed at delivering recovery-oriented support for adults with substance use issues across Lancashire. The service, under the industry category of health and social work services (CPV 85000000 and 85312500), is set to commence on 1st October 2025 and continue until 30th September 2028. The contract, awarded to CHANGE, GROW, LIVE SERVICES LIMITED with a value of £62,090,187 excluding VAT, operates under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and not the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
This competitive process concluded with the formal contract award on 28th April 2025, highlighting the critical role of prevention, treatment, and recovery support within the community, particularly for those with complex needs. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and social services sectors, particularly those with expertise in rehabilitation services and community-based support. Large organisations capable of delivering integrated services that extend across health, criminal justice, and social care sectors will find this opportunity well-suited to their capabilities.
The service's alignment with strategic priorities, such as reducing drug and alcohol-related harm and providing support for families and carers, underscores its potential to contribute meaningfully to community health outcomes while fostering business growth through contract delivery. With a substantial contract value and a community-wide scope, businesses can leverage their expertise to expand their operational footprint within the Lancashire region.
The Authority wishes to commission an Adult Community Substance Use Treatment and Recovery Service. The Service will deliver recovery-oriented substance use treatment and recovery support for adults aged 18 and above as well as for their family, carers, and supporting others. The Service will be delivered across the community and will have strong links with the criminal justice system, health services, social care and the VCSFE. Key aims of the Service will be delivered under 3 core strands: 1. Prevention, Wellbeing, and Harm Reduction 2. Treatment 3. Recovery, Development and Support In addition to the core strands, the Service will be required to deliver against specific pathways for Service Users who have multiple complex needs including: 1. Homelessness and Rough Sleeping 2. Domestic Abuse 3. Mental Health 4. Criminal Justice 5. Family Safeguarding The Service will also work closely with the Authority around managing and responding to Drug and Alcohol Related Deaths and Non-Fatal Overdoses. The service model for the new Community Substance Use Treatment and Recovery Service broadly follows the same structure and principles of the previous contract with additions and amendments reflecting changes in national guidance and an extensive service user and stakeholder consultation. The new Service will be delivered across all of Lancashire. See tender documents for full details. Future funding is not guaranteed, in the event that additional grant funding ceases, service delivery will be reduced accordingly.
