Provision of 4 FTE's for DATRIG

West Sussex County Council has completed a public procurement process for the provision of four full-time equivalent roles focused on substance use and wellbeing. The procurement pertains to the social work services category and does not involve healthcare delivery. The contract, valued at £209,208, runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026 and was formalized on 31 March 2025, with the award granted to the supplier, STONEPILLOW.

The industry classification for this contract falls under "social work and related services". The process employed a direct procurement method, specifically a light-touch regime approach below threshold without competition, indicating a streamlined and expedited selection process. This contract presents opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in social care and support services, to engage with public sector projects focused on community wellbeing.

Companies adept in the delivery of effective substance use support interventions stand to benefit from such awards, as the public sector seeks partners capable of enhancing community health outcomes. This opportunity is particularly suited to established service providers with the ability to offer tailored support solutions within the public welfare sector. STONEPILLOW, a large-scale supplier in the social enterprise sector, exemplifies the type of organisation well-positioned to capitalise on such contracts.
