Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority is procuring co-occurring conditions support services for adults experiencing multiple disadvantage, particularly people affected by homelessness, substance misuse and mental ill health. The service will provide direct support or signposting, referrals, treatment and interventions, including engagement through drop-ins and day centres. It will integrate existing Greater Manchester homelessness programmes and arrangements into the Enhanced Live Well offer, reduce workforce and service barriers, and work across local authorities and existing providers. The appointed provider must collaborate strategically with other inclusion health organisations and lead partnership working across the wider system. This is a community health, rehabilitation and psychiatric or psychological support service. Delivery covers Greater Manchester, with the framework available to Greater Manchester local authorities. The buyer is Greater Manchester Combined Authority.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a two-stage Competitive Flexible procedure under the Provider Selection Regime. Stage 1 combines quality at 70% and price at 10%; the three highest-scoring bidders are invited to Stage 2, an electronic presentation with virtual Teams interview questions weighted at 20%. The expression of interest and Stage 1 submission deadline is 23 September 2026 at 12:00 noon, and clarification questions close on 16 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is 15 January 2027 to 14 January 2030, with two possible 12-month renewals subject to funding and regulations. The estimated value is £15,000,000 excluding VAT and £18,000,000 including VAT. Award is due by 15 December 2026. It is one lot and electronic submission is allowed in English.

This opportunity suits providers of inclusion health, homelessness, mental health, substance misuse and community rehabilitation services, including small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Strong candidates will be able to support people with complex, co-occurring needs and multiple disadvantage, manage professional caseloads and referrals, and deliver direct treatment, interventions, signposting and engagement in community settings. The requirement favours organisations with experience integrating services across local authorities and established homelessness programmes, coordinating with primary care, palliative care and other inclusion health providers, and building effective partnerships across Greater Manchester. Providers must be capable of taking a lead role in collaborative delivery and supporting joined-up workforce practice. The selection process also requires robust written quality responses, credible pricing, and an electronic presentation with interview responses.

Notice Title

GMCA 2087 GM Inclusion Health Services: Co-occurring Conditions Support Services

Notice Description

Inclusion Health Services: Co-occurring Conditions Support Services SERVICE MODEL: Directly support or signpost people experiencing multiple disadvantage. Multiple Disadvantage is defined as adults experiencing a combination of - homelessness, substance misuse, mental ill health, domestic abuse and contact with the criminal justice system. For the purposes of this contract, the focus for multiple disadvantage will be people experiencing co-occurring homelessness, substance misuse and mental ill health. The service will deliver an equivalent, or enhanced staffing structure and coverage to current arrangements with Local Authorities and existing programmes (i.e. RSPARG Local Authorities, Greater Manchester Housing First and RSAP as well as Individual Local Authority arrangements i.e. Manchester and Bolton). The service is expected to breakdown individual and workforce barriers within the contract i.e. joined up service and support across what was previously RSPARG Local Authorities, Greater Manchester Housing First and RSAP and Manchester City Council. Integrate existing GMCA Homelessness areas and programmes of delivery within the Enhanced Live Well offer There are a number of similar services and different providers supporting people experiencing homelessness, co-occurring conditions and multiple disadvantage operating across Greater Manchester Providers are expected to strategically collaborate with other providers of Inclusion Health support and identify opportunities to jointly support the workforce in line with Enhanced Live Well and integrated neighbourhood approaches across Greater Manchester. Providers are expected to take on a Lead Provider role for working collaboratively and building partnerships within this contract (Lot 1 - GP Primary Care and Lot 2 - Palliative Care Service) and within the wider Inclusion Health system across Greater Manchester The number of people supported by the service each year is reflected in professional caseload and number of referrals accepted to be taken forward for direct treatment and interventions. We expect a much wider cohort of people experiencing rough sleeping and co-occurring conditions (multiple disadvantage) to be supported through regular attendance at drop-ins and day centres and engagement with other professionals through the collaborative approach outlined above.
