Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council commissioned a health and recovery service for Rochdale. The service is intended to support people to become free from dependency on drugs and alcohol and to thrive through meaningful activities that support recovery in everyday life. It is a holistic, whole-family programme working alongside drug and alcohol treatment providers and other organisations supporting people in active drug and alcohol use. The wider aims include reducing drug and alcohol-related harm, offending and deaths, increasing sustained recovery, reducing demand on emergency departments and adult social care, and helping reduce health inequalities. Delivery is in Rochdale. The requirement is classified as health services and is relevant to providers of substance-misuse recovery, community health, psychosocial support and partnership-based services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a restricted procedure under the Provider Selection Regime’s Most Suitable Provider route. Three bids were recorded. High Level Norther Trust was selected for the service, with an active award and an active contract. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 for £1,445,000, with a planned duration of 1,440 days. The tender submission deadline was 13 August 2026. Evaluation placed 90% on quality and 10% on price. The procurement was organised as one lot; the lot record is marked cancelled, while the related award and contract are active. Written submissions in English were required, and a document participation fee applied. Variants were allowed.

This award shows demand from Rochdale Borough Council for a substantial, integrated recovery service rather than a narrowly clinical intervention. Credible competitors would need experience supporting people affected by drug and alcohol dependency, with evidence of helping people enter and sustain recovery. The service model calls for meaningful activity, a holistic and whole-family approach, and close working with treatment providers and organisations supporting people in active use. Providers should therefore be able to coordinate multi-agency delivery and address wider determinants of health, health inequalities, offending, emergency-service use and social-care demand. Organisations with the scale to deliver across Rochdale, measure outcomes against these system priorities and build effective stakeholder partnerships would be best placed when this requirement is next considered.
