Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire commissioned substance misuse services. The requirement is described broadly, without further detail on the specific services or intended users. Delivery is across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a single service requirement, rather than separate regional lots, and is intended to continue existing provision. The buyer is based in Leicester, but the stated delivery footprint extends well beyond Leicestershire.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Turning Point (Services) Limited. The award was made on 9 September 2026 and the contract was signed on 29 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £262,146 excluding VAT (£314,575.20 including VAT). The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with one 12-month extension option, allowing it to run to 31 March 2028. The buyer used a direct award to continue existing services. The procurement comprised one lot and was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. No evaluation criteria are stated.

This award shows that the Leicestershire Police and Crime Commissioner procures substance misuse services across a broad English footprint and has used a direct award to maintain continuity of provision. Turning Point, a large social enterprise with relevant service-provider experience, was selected. A future competitor would need to demonstrate credible capacity to deliver the required substance misuse support consistently across multiple regions, while maintaining continuity for the buyer and service users. The published description does not identify specific clinical, staffing, accreditation or performance requirements, so these should not be assumed from this award. The single-lot approach indicates a broad service package rather than region-by-region awards; suppliers would need to be able to meet that overall scope, either directly or through a suitable delivery network.
