Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council has issued a contract modification notice for the “All age community-based 'integrated' drug & alcohol treatment and recovery” services. This procurement focuses on community health services and aims to enhance existing drug and alcohol treatment and recovery support in Liverpool. The modification, effective from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027, includes an additional £6,470,503.45 funding through central government grants. The procurement is administered under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, bypassing the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and involves the extension of existing services. The contract was formally awarded to Change Grow Live Services Ltd, starting from 2025, through a competitive process.

This tender provides a substantial opportunity for businesses specializing in health services, particularly those with expertise in drug and alcohol recovery and rehabilitation. The procurement seeks the enhancement of service quality and capacity, thus requiring experienced providers that can manage large-scale health service delivery effectively. Businesses that can integrate multiple service elements, including housing, education, and employment for individuals suffering from substance misuse, will be well-placed to contribute to this project. The long-term contract period, along with funding augmentation, underscores the potential for significant business growth and collaboration in the public health sector.

Please note that there is no change in the length of contract.",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: In July 2025, the Director of Public Health accepted receipt of the following grant funds; - Central Government Funding, from the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID): Drug and alcohol, treatment and recovery improvement grant (DATRIG) 2025/26 to the total sum of PS8,830,797 - Central Government Funding, from the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID): OHID: Individual Placement Support Grant (IPS) 2025/26 to the total sum of PS265,783 - Probation Service North West: Dependency and Recovery funds (1st April 2025 - 28th February 2027) to the total sum of PS516,767. A proportion of those grant funds are to be applied to an existing contract which delivers services relevant to the aims and objectives of the grant funding, namely The All-age, Integrated Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Services Contract The decision to vary the contract to include supplementary funding will: - Positively address the short timeframes associated with the DATRIG funding, to prevent and minimise delays in implementation of interventions under the proposal and reduce the risk of clawback at the end of the funding period. - Creates an enhancement to current support offered in Liverpool, for people who use(d) drugs and/or alcohol (positive impact) - Supports quality improvements and increases the capacity to respond to local needs. - Positively addresses the risks to service continuity, safeguarding, including maintaining the ability to fund approximately 116 front line posts that TUPE transferred to the new provider on 1st April 2025. As part of the tender process, bidders for this contract were informed that as grant funding could not be anticipated with certainty it was not possible to include this into this procurement and subsequent contract envelope. However, provisions were made in the tender documents to allow for further enhancement of the quality and capacity of the core service elements under the contract post award. The tender documents clearly set out the source of the grant funding, a description of the type of services the grant can be utilised for, current values and the maximum sum which would potentially be incorporated into the contract. Therefore, IPS, SSMTR and Diversion and Recovery grant funding values were included within the 'Total Contract Range', for the duration of the contract term."
