Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Cumbria Addictions Service South" is led by Westmorland and Furness Council, a local authority based in Kendal, United Kingdom. This procurement, under the category of health and social work services, specifically focuses on rehabilitation services and is targeted towards enhancing the council's statutory duty to protect the health and wellbeing of residents from the impacts of alcohol and drug misuse. The procurement has advanced to the award stage, with Waythrough, formerly Humankind Charity, as the active supplier. The service includes establishing a Cumbria Addictions Board and developing a Cumbria Addictions Strategy, with a contract period concluding on 30th October 2026. Key locations involved are within the North West of England (UKD12 region). This initiative forms part of the council’s strategy to provide comprehensive addiction services in collaboration with health partners and is underpinned by the legal frameworks of the NHS Act 2006 and Health and Social Care Act 2014.

This tender provides significant opportunities for growth in sectors related to healthcare and social work services, particularly for organisations specialising in addiction recovery and holistic rehabilitation approaches. The procurement's focus on both clinical treatment and non-clinical recovery opens avenues for businesses that can deliver multi-faceted addiction services, implement strategic health initiatives, and work within multi-agency collaboration frameworks. Firms that can navigate government health strategies and effectively utilise public health grants will find this an advantageous contract. It is especially suited for large-scale healthcare providers adept in public health policies and substance misuse treatment, which aligns with the goals established by the Central Government’s 10-year drug strategy. The substantial contract value, reinforced through allocations from the Public Health Grant, highlights the scale and importance of this opportunity.
