UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision of Drug & Alcohol Specialist" service was managed by North Devon District Council, located in Barnstaple, United Kingdom. The procurement was a direct award, classified under the health and social work services category, specifically for the Rough Sleeper service. This contract, valued at £85,756 (excluding VAT), was awarded to WAYTHROUGH, a large supplier organisation based in Durham. The contract was signed on 24 March 2026, commenced on 1 April 2026, and is set to conclude on 31 March 2028. The procurement process was completed without competition due to its below-threshold nature, and the legal basis was the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2023.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those with expertise in supporting vulnerable populations like rough sleepers. Companies that deliver innovative, specialist care solutions can leverage this opportunity to expand their portfolio of public sector clients. The contract presents a stable revenue stream over the two-year period, making it particularly appealing for enterprises in the health and social services sector. While this contract was awarded directly, organisations should explore similar opportunities and engage with local councils to establish relationships that could lead to future procurement opportunities.
