Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the Tameside Substance Misuse Service was conducted by Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, a regional authority in the UK. The procurement focused on health services, specifically aimed at tackling substance misuse in Tameside with a recovery-focused treatment approach. The procurement process was completed under a Direct Award using the PSR Process C, without prior publication of a call for competition. This contract, valued at £16,315,000, was awarded on 5 January 2026 to Change Grow Live. The buying organisation is located in Ashton under Lyne, and the procurement was part of efforts to support preventive and early intervention strategies in substance misuse.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health services, particularly those with experience in substance misuse treatment and recovery programmes. Businesses with a strong focus on quality and cost-effectiveness would find themselves well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The procurement method, limited due to the nature of the Direct Award, suggests potential opportunities for businesses familiar with strategic healthcare initiatives, especially those committed to embedding substance misuse prevention as a priority. Engaging in this area could lead to growth prospects and heightened visibility in the public health sector within the UK.
