Summary of the contracting process

The Bristol City Council has awarded a contract titled "Specialist Housing Support" under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract, valued at £1,666,902 with an option to extend by £866,619, focuses on the provision of rehabilitation services in the UKK11 region, specifically catering to clients in drug and alcohol treatment to help them secure and maintain quality housing. This procurement process was executed through a limited procedure without prior publication for competition, marking its completion with the contract active from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, with an extension option available until 31st March 2029.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare and housing services, particularly those capable of providing support to individuals recovering from substance misuse. Firms like the Addiction Recovery Agency, designated as the supplier, stand to benefit from participation due to the nature of the services involved, which align with their expertise in rehabilitation. The procurement method, which negates the need for a competitive bidding process due to the absence of alternative providers, suggests that businesses with unique interventions in housing support could explore future engagement opportunities in this sector.
