Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington has completed the procurement process for a "Drug and Alcohol Peer Support Service". This service, classified under Health and Social Work Services (CPV 85000000), aims to provide peer group support activities for residents with drug or alcohol support needs. The service includes both face-to-face and online support, covering weekends and weekdays. The procurement stage is Award, following a limited procurement method via competitive quotation (below threshold). Key dates include the tender period ending on 10th May 2024, the contract starting on 1st June 2024, and ending on 31st May 2025. The primary location for service delivery is in Islington, N1 2UD, United Kingdom. The awarded contract value is £221,000 GBP with The Forward Trust, a large-scale organisation, being the successful supplier.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the health and social services sector to engage in a collaborative and impactful community service. Companies with experience in providing peer support for drug and alcohol recovery can capitalise on this potential to expand their service offerings. Organisations skilled in delivering both in-person and digital support services, especially those that can address the identified gaps in weekend and online provisions, would find this contract beneficial and aligned with their capabilities. Although this specific contract has been awarded, similar opportunities may arise, providing avenues for business growth and community impact.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Drug and Alcohol Peer Support Service

Notice Description

The service will facilitate peer group support activities for Islington residents with drug / alcohol support needs. This will include face to face and online support. Delivery would need to include weekends as well as weekdays. The service is being commissioned with the understanding that when people with similar experiences, in relation to drugs or alcohol, support each other, it can improve their overall well-being and create a caring community where recovery can happen and be sustained. Whilst peer support interventions do exist within Islington, we have identified a gap for regular peer support at weekends and currently there is no online peer support provision for those that wish to access services in that way.
