The service is focused on delivering a recovery college in North Cumbria, with offerings that include both face-to-face and online sessions aimed at promoting self-management and recovery. The procurement followed a below-threshold three quote process, in accordance with PA2023 Regulations. The contract was awarded to Together We CIC, with a gross contract value of £94,902, commencing on 1st July 2026 and concluding on 30th June 2027. The project falls within the services category and utilises a special regime known as "lightTouch." Key aspects such as value for money, quality, coverage, and alignment with national principles were considered during the selection process.

This tender creates opportunities for businesses in the service industry, particularly those specialising in community action programmes or recovery services. Companies with expertise in educational and social services, structured to adhere to national recovery frameworks and capable of delivering both face-to-face and digital services, would be particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts. The partnership with NHS organisations not only enhances a supplier's portfolio but also provides a stable revenue stream aligned with public sector priorities. Large businesses like Together We CIC, which focus on value-driven and comprehensive service delivery, are ideal candidates for such procurement opportunities, offering scalability and significant community impact.
