NORTH WALES SUBSTANCE MISUSE SERVICES SMART Recovery Programme

The procurement process, managed by Wrexham County Borough Council, concerns the "NORTH WALES SUBSTANCE MISUSE SERVICES SMART Recovery Programme," focusing on substance misuse services within the health industry category. The procurement was conducted under a limited procedure, specifically an award without prior publication of a call for competition due to the specialised nature of the service. This programme is tailored for the North Wales region, a factor critical for vendors interested in supplying services here.

The award was completed and announced on 22 April 2025, with a contract signed with UK SMART RECOVERY on 1 April 2025. The programme is categorised under services with a procurement method rationale highlighting the absence of competition for technical reasons. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare and social assistance, particularly those with expertise in addiction recovery and mutual aid programmes.

SMEs like UK SMART RECOVERY, who secured the contract, illustrate the viability of smaller organisations competing effectively in this niche market. With a contract valued at £187,010, businesses with innovative recovery solutions and the ability to deliver bespoke services could find lucrative opportunities in similar procurement processes, especially where technical expertise limits competition. This contract can foster business growth by establishing a foothold in the regional health sector, particularly in tailored recovery services.
