Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames procured a Garden Day Programme, classified as rehabilitation services. The service is a 12-week, intensive, non-residential rehabilitation programme based on the 12 Step approach, for people with addiction or substance misuse issues who have already completed detoxification. Delivery is in Kingston upon Thames. The requirement sits within public health commissioning and development for drugs and alcohol services. The programme is a healthcare service rather than a general social care, training or facilities contract. It is intended for a specialist provider able to support people after detoxification through structured recovery activity in a day-programme setting.

This procurement has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using Direct Award B without prior publication of a call for competition. The selected supplier is Kairos Community Trust. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 for £6,310.80 including the stated currency of GBP. One electronic bid was recorded, with no SME bid recorded. The published evaluation basis identified quality, including no realistic alternative provider or patient choice, and price, with each shown as 100. The single lot is marked cancelled, although the related award is active and the contract is active. The award was made to an existing service and existing provider.

This outcome indicates demand for a small, specialist community rehabilitation service supporting people with addiction or substance misuse after detoxification. A credible future competitor would need experience delivering structured, intensive, non-residential recovery programmes and applying a 12 Step-based model over a defined programme cycle. It would also need to demonstrate safe and effective support for people who have already completed detox, with suitable clinical, recovery and safeguarding arrangements for public health commissioning. Evidence that there is no realistic alternative provider, or that patient choice is relevant, may be important in understanding the buyer’s route to market. Providers with established local delivery capability and continuity of service would be well placed to compete when this requirement is next considered.
