Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire has launched a tender seeking to award a contract for a Substance Use Outreach Service targeting individuals aged 16 to 25. This initiative, in collaboration with Derbyshire County Council’s Public Health Service, aims to enhance health and social work services in the UK. The tender process is currently active under an open, light-touch procurement regime with a below-threshold competition. Interested parties can submit their applications electronically up to 20th May 2026, and the enquiry period concludes on 12th May 2026. The procurement focuses on service-based guidance and counselling, alongside welfare provision for young people.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those offering guidance and counselling to youth. With a contract estimated at £540,000, businesses that focus on quality could benefit remarkably, as the award criteria allocate 80% towards quality and 20% to pricing. Organisations such as SMEs and VCSEs are particularly encouraged to participate due to their suitability for the project. This procurement offers the potential for contract renewal, extending up to another 12 months following the initial contract period between October 2026 and September 2028, forming a lucrative long-term opportunity for the right bidders.
