Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tower Hamlets is procuring a single integrated adult drug and alcohol prevention, treatment and recovery service, replacing its existing system through one contract with one accountable provider. The service combines core treatment and prescribing with psychosocial interventions, outreach, recovery support, Individual Placement and Support, and agreed criminal-justice treatment and case-management functions. It must provide connected pathways covering harm reduction, rough sleeping, hospitals, mental health, primary care, families, young adults aged 18–25 and digital access. The provider must also maintain formal working interfaces with external recovery, health, children and young people, Tier 4 and council-retained criminal-justice services. The service will be delivered in Tower Hamlets, London. This is a health and social care service focused on rehabilitation and recovery from alcohol and drug use.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure under the Provider Selection Regime. The process reached the tender stage. Bids were to be submitted electronically by 23 December 2026 at 12:00 noon; the stated evaluation period was due to start at 12:05pm that day. The contract is initially for three years, with the authority able to extend it by up to two further 12-month periods, giving a maximum possible term of five years. The estimated annual value is £7.37 million and the stated total for the full five-year period is £36.85 million, excluding VAT. The service is packaged as one integrated contract rather than separate lots. The evaluation basis is not set out in the available process details; bidders must meet the stated suitability requirement for CQC registration.

This opportunity is suited to providers able to take end-to-end accountability for a broad adult substance-use service, rather than delivering only a discrete treatment component. Strong capability is needed across clinical treatment and prescribing, psychosocial support, outreach, recovery, employment support and criminal-justice case management, with the capacity to coordinate pathways spanning housing insecurity, hospitals, mental health, primary care, families, young adults and digital services. Providers should be experienced in partnership working with external health, recovery and statutory services while keeping clear governance and operational interfaces. A valid Care Quality Commission registration covering every regulated activity in the service is required, and a CQC Registered Manager must remain in post throughout the contract. The provider and manager must ensure regulatory compliance, safeguarding, risk management, quality assurance and continuous service improvement. The scale and integrated delivery model favour organisations with established systems and sufficient workforce capacity.
