Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has awarded the Lived Experience Evaluation Project (LEEP) - Continuation and Development Contract to CREATE STRENGTH GROUP. This contract aims to advance the LEEP initiative, which involves individuals affected by substance-related harm to contribute to improving treatment and recovery services. The procurement falls under the category of services, specifically focusing on rehabilitation services. The contract, valued at £150,000 with a gross amount of £180,000, begins on 4th December 2025 and concludes on 31st March 2026. Notably, the procurement method employed was direct, and it's classified under a 'light touch' special regime, indicating a process below the competitive threshold, endorsed by UK legislation. The completion of the procurement process covers the region of Bradford, United Kingdom, under the governance of a sub-central government authority.

This contract presents significant opportunities for enterprises specialising in rehabilitation and toxic substances recovery services. Given the scale and focus on specialised services, larger organisations with established frameworks in these areas, particularly those capable of engaging with community initiatives, are well-suited to participate. With CREATE STRENGTH GROUP—a large-scale supplier—awarded the contract, businesses possessing similar capacities in delivering substantial community impact while adhering to direct procurement methods can leverage such tenders for growth. The emphasis on incorporating lived experiences into service development suggests potential collaborative ventures and innovative approaches within the rehabilitation sector in regions governed by sub-central authorities like Bradford.
