Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council commissions medically managed alcohol inpatient detoxification on behalf of Hartlepool Borough Council and Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council. The service provides safe alcohol withdrawal for residents referred by specialist community drug and alcohol recovery services as part of a recovery plan. It is intended for people with substance-related problems that are sufficiently severe or complex to require 24-hour medical, psychiatric and psychological care. Delivery requires a multidisciplinary team with specialist addiction expertise. Treatment must be individually tailored, including for co-morbidities, flexible, and able to combine pharmacological, psychological and social interventions. Care planning begins before admission and should provide continuity into ongoing treatment after discharge. This is a rehabilitation service, covering Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded under Provider Selection Regime Option A, using a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust was selected for the single lot. The stated annual contract value is £124,000, with an initial 12-month term and options to extend by two further 12-month periods. The signed contract value is £372,000, and it was signed on 30 May 2026. Evaluation gave 100% to quality, based on there being no realistic alternative provider, and 0% to price. One bid was recorded. The contract is active; the procurement’s stated rationale is that it falls outside the relevant directive’s scope and was awarded under the PSR.

This requirement is most relevant to NHS trusts, hospitals and specialist addiction-care providers able to deliver medically managed inpatient alcohol detoxification. A credible provider would need a 24-hour multidisciplinary service with specialist knowledge of addiction, and the clinical capability to manage patients with severe or complex substance-related problems requiring medical, psychiatric and psychological care. Experience of coordinating referrals from community drug and alcohol recovery services would be important, as would the ability to develop individual care plans before admission and maintain a seamless transition into continuing treatment after discharge. Providers should also be able to tailor treatment around co-morbidities and combine medication, psychological support and social interventions. The award demonstrates demand for an established, clinically integrated service rather than a price-led offer.
