Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The East Sussex County Council has awarded a contract for the provision of Harm Reduction Services in temporary accommodation settings. The contract, classified under Health and social work services, was awarded to THE SEAVIEW PROJECT following a direct award tender process. The value of the contract is £99,616 GBP, with a contract period starting on September 1, 2022, and ending on August 31, 2023. The tender period ended on July 27, 2022. The Council emphasised the need for a local service provider due to the specific requirements of the service.

This contract presents an opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs interested in providing harm reduction and diversionary activities services to vulnerable populations in East Sussex. Businesses with expertise in substance misuse support services and experience in similar specialist services are well-suited to compete. The procurement process aimed at maintaining continuity and leveraging the existing provider's knowledge and networks in delivering successful harm reduction programmes. The direct award below threshold method was chosen to expedite the process given the Council's strong market knowledge and the unique requirements of the service.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Harm Reduction Services

Notice Description

The provision of harm reduction advice and diversionary activities for those living in temporary accommodation settings across East Sussex focusing on Hastings and Eastbourne. This will include the provision of harm reduction training to staff working in temporary accommodation settings. This is a specialist service, requiring a local hub and the necessary infrastructure to deliver the service. The Council's market knowledge in this category is strong, resulting from a number of recent competitive procurements undertaken for a range of substance misuse support services. It is clear that there are no other local providers with the necessary knowledge, experience and premises in-county who could undertake the work. The Service Provider has been conducting the same work in Hastings since November 2020, meaning that the benefit of this would be lost if another provider were to be contracted at this point. In addition, there is a need to have existing contacts and networks in place for continued successful delivery. Due to uncertainties with funding it was not possible to offer this contract on a longer term when a waiver was previously granted.
