Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the Community Rehabilitation Programme is managed by Newcastle City Council, located at the Civic Centre in Newcastle Upon Tyne. This programme is focused on the provision of community services aimed at rehabilitation from substance use, aligning with national guidelines and utilizing a 12-step model for abstinence-based support. The project is classified under the industry category of services to the community and aims to support residents in Newcastle Upon Tyne, within the UKC22 region. The procurement method used is an open competition, classified as a "Below threshold" procurement with a special "light touch" regime applicable. The process has undergone several stages including planning, tendering, awarding, and a subsequent contract amendment stage as of May 7, 2026, for additional services not originally included. The contract duration is from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2028, with options for two additional 12-month extensions based on performance, and the contract is valued at £702,312 for these supplementary services.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in community service provision, specifically those focusing on rehabilitation and support for individuals affected by substance misuse.

Additionally, businesses that can offer comprehensive support in housing, employment, education, and family assistance will find this procurement a favourable avenue for growth, as the contract encourages engagement with local support and fellowship groups. The tender process, structured to favour open and competitive participation, particularly welcomes SMEs and VCSEs, thereby widening the field for smaller organisations to build and expand their involvement in public sector services.
