Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Assertive Outreach Pathway" is being managed by the Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, a public body in Manchester, UK. This tender falls under the health services industry category, specifically focusing on the Achieve Drug and Alcohol Service in the regions of Bury, Salford, and Trafford. The procurement stage is now at the award phase. The contract was awarded on 1st April 2026 through a direct award process, facilitated under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and excluded from the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement method employed was limited, with no prior publication of a call for competition necessary, due to the nature of the service already being provided satisfactorily.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, especially those with expertise in drug and alcohol rehabilitation and outreach programmes. Although the direct award has already been made to The Big Life Group, future similar opportunities could be pursued by businesses with a strong track record in providing comprehensive, community-based health services. It suggests a competitive advantage for suppliers already engaged or familiar with the service delivery within Greater Manchester NHS facilities or similar frameworks across the UK. Additionally, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can align closely with regional healthcare strategies may find further opportunities within this sector.
