Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned a combined community drug and alcohol treatment and recovery service in Barnsley. The scope brings together the adult substance misuse service, Barnsley Recovery Steps, the young people’s substance misuse service, previously delivered in-house by the council, and supported accommodation for people aged 25 and over with multiple and complex needs. The service covers treatment and recovery alongside accommodation support, serving both adults and young people. The procurement is for health and social care services, rather than goods or construction work, and its delivery is tied to Barnsley. The combined requirement brings several substance misuse and complex-needs services under one contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Humankind Charity. Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council used a direct procurement method. The award date was 1 April 2024, and the contract runs from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend to 31 March 2031. The stated award value is £41,458,730.30. The description says this estimate assumes the council receives the same funding each year as in 2024/25, and that the funding remains subject to confirmation by each funding body. The agreed amount for 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 is £5,596,968.70. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2024 at 12 noon.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Barnsley Council, this award shows demand for an integrated substance misuse and recovery offer spanning adult and young people’s services, as well as supported accommodation for people aged 25 and over with multiple and complex needs. A credible provider would need to deliver or coordinate treatment and recovery support across those distinct groups and connect this provision with accommodation support. The combined scope indicates a requirement for broad service-delivery capacity, rather than a single specialist intervention. Humankind Charity was selected for the contract. The opportunity is relevant to organisations with experience in substance misuse services and the operational ability to bring community treatment, recovery and supported accommodation together for Barnsley residents.
