Summary of the contracting process

The most recent update on the procurement process for the "Oldham Lived Experience Recovery Support Service for Substance Use" is a Notice of Intention to Award a Contract, dated 14th July 2026. This service, under the management of Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council, focuses on providing recovery-oriented support for adults impacted by drug or alcohol use. The procurement was categorised under rehabilitation services and utilised an open procedure for a PSR Competitive Process. The service, located in Oldham, UKD37 region, was intended to operate independently while collaborating with the local substance use treatment system. The initial tender stage was active as of 5th May 2026, with a submission deadline on 2nd June 2026, but it was later cancelled, with an unsuccessful and discontinued award status.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for organisations experienced in rehabilitation and health services in line with enhancing community support systems. Companies that excel in integrating lived experience into service provision, and those focused on community-based rehabilitation services, are well-suited to pursue such contracts. The opportunity promotes service innovation, social value, and improved access to treatment, aligning with Oldham Council's goals. Consequently, businesses with strengths in collaboration, quality service delivery, and addressing health inequalities will find this tender aligns with their expertise, providing a platform for impactful engagement and potential extensions up to one year beyond the initial contract period.
