Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Primary Care Alcohol Pathways" project, led by Stockton on Tees Borough Council, is now complete. The contract was awarded to Hartlepool and Stockton Health Ltd, stemming from a regime designed to enhance primary care through alcohol-specific training and IT system improvements. This service falls under the "Health and social work services" category and will be active from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 in the region of UKC11.
