Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council has updated the procurement process regarding the Substance Use Service targeting young people within the health services category. Located in North Yorkshire, this initiative is under the Provider Selection Regime and follows Direct Award Process C. The recent contract amendment, dated 30 April 2026, covers a five-year period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2031. The award was formalised on 31 March 2026, with a contract value that has increased to £1,610,485 due to additional funding allocations and potential discretionary uplifts. The procurement stage is currently at the tender update phase, indicating ongoing developments in the contract's execution.

This tender presents prospects for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those prioritising health service innovation, access improvement, and collaboration sustainability. It is tailored to address substance use among young people and requires businesses with a focus on prevention and early intervention in drug and alcohol misuse. Companies with expertise in fostering resilience and mitigating risks in youth substance use are well-suited to apply. Opportunities arise from the potential discretionary funding in Year 2 through 5, allowing for additional growth and service enhancement. The procurement method used is limited, with the process conducted outside the standard directives, allowing established providers satisfying existing contracts to continue delivering valuable services.
