UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire County Council is planning the procurement of a community rehabilitation service with a focus on aiding individuals in managing their substance issues through community recovery. The procurement process is in the planning stage as of 29th May 2026, with future notices expected by 1st September 2026. The intended contract is classified under the "services" category, targeting the community service sector, and the location of service delivery will be in Hertfordshire, UK. The projected contract period is from 1st October 2027 to 30th September 2032, with potential extensions up to 2034, and has been valued at £2.8 million. This opportunity complies with the legal framework established by the UK Public General Acts 2023/54 and aims to cater to sub-central government service needs.

Businesses specialising in community service provision, particularly those experienced in rehabilitation and abstinence support, can significantly benefit from this opportunity. The tender is especially suitable for voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) interested in developing and expanding their service offerings in rehabilitation. With a substantial budget and a potential contract term of up to seven years, participating in this tender could offer substantial business growth and positioning within the public sector services market. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and organisations with a proven track record in similar services might find the opportunity particularly lucrative for enhancing their market presence and strengthening partnerships within the UK public sector.
