Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process led by Stockton on Tees Borough Council focused on awarding a contract to a service provider for the Substance Use Outreach Nurse Team. This initiative, part of the Health Care Services category, works to deliver high-quality outreach nursing care to communities dealing with homelessness and substance use. The contract was awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, illustrating a targeted approach that did not involve prior publication of a call for competition due to unique technical and partnership needs. The contract is valued at £80,000 annually with the contract term set from 31 March 2026 to 1 April 2027 and includes options to extend by four additional 12-month periods.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in health services, particularly those with established ties to primary care networks and expertise in community outreach. The contract was awarded to HARTLEPOOL AND STOCKTON HEALTH LTD, highlighting the demand for SMEs capable of delivering specialised health services collaboratively with public health, housing, and safeguarding sectors. Companies with innovative solutions in healthcare delivery, especially in underrepresented communities, and those adept at forming multi-sector partnerships will find this and similar opportunities promising for growth and expansion in the public health domain.
