Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Islington is procuring an integrated community drug and alcohol service for adults aged 18 and over who live in Islington and need treatment or support relating to drug or alcohol use. The service is a health and social care provision covering assessment, treatment and wider support, with an emphasis on delivering an integrated community service. It will be registered with and inspected by the Care Quality Commission. Delivery is in Islington, London. The procurement is classified as health services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is for a single service rather than separate lots, so suppliers need to be able to provide or coordinate the full integrated offer for the borough’s adult population.

The procurement has reached award stage following a one-stage competitive process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using an open procedure. Six valid tenders were received and the contract was awarded to Turning Point (Services) Limited on 11 September 2026, subject to a standstill period ending on 23 September 2026. The awarded gross value is £63,745,810. The initial contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2032, including a six-month mobilisation period, with service go-live scheduled for 1 April 2027. There are extension options of up to 48 months, giving a maximum end date of 31 March 2036. Evaluation weighted quality and innovation at 32%, integration and sustainability at 20%, access and health inequalities at 12%, social value at 16%, and value at 20%.

This award provides a clear benchmark for organisations competing for future adult community drug and alcohol treatment work with Islington. Credible suppliers will need established capability in drug and alcohol treatment for adults, a service model that can operate in the community, and the clinical and governance arrangements required for Care Quality Commission registration and inspection. The evaluation places particular importance on quality and innovation, integration with partners, collaboration and service sustainability, improving access, reducing health inequalities, facilitating user choice, and delivering social value. The six valid bids, including three from voluntary, community or social enterprise suppliers, indicate competition from large specialist providers, NHS trusts and social enterprises. Providers should therefore be able to demonstrate partnership working, outcome-focused delivery and capacity to manage a borough-wide integrated service.
