Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council is planning a procurement process for drug and alcohol services, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This initiative, labelled "Drug and Alcohol Services Early Engagement Event," falls under the community health services industry category and will take place in Peterborough, England. Currently at the planning stage, the process includes a budget of £19,000,000, spanning from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2031. Interested parties are invited to attend an early engagement event: an in-person session on 29th April 2025 from noon to 1:30 PM at Sand Martin House, Bittern Road, Peterborough, and a virtual session via Teams on 9th May 2025 from 11:30 AM to 1 PM. Feedback from these sessions will be incorporated before the formal invitation to tender is issued.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those with experience in providing community health services, substance misuse treatment, and recovery programmes. Suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), the project seeks providers capable of delivering early intervention measures, treatment, recovery services, and a holistic life skills offer for both adults and young people. Businesses that can form effective partnerships with primary care settings, education, statutory partners, and voluntary sectors are especially well-suited to compete. Participating in this tender could help businesses expand their service offerings and establish strong community ties while contributing to the public health infrastructure in Peterborough.
