Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council commissioned community-based support for families affected by another person’s harmful alcohol or drug use, including kinship and informal carers. The service provides free, confidential practical advice, information and emotional support, mainly through group sessions, with a limited number of one-to-one sessions. It also includes outreach surgeries and group support in local communities, accommodation for delivering support, and short breaks or respite for children and young people aged 0–16 who are cared for because of parental substance use. The aim is to strengthen family relationships, build resilience and connect people with lasting informal support networks as part of Glasgow’s wider recovery system. Delivery is across Glasgow City, covering its North West, North East and South localities.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Glasgow City Council used an open procedure and awarded the single lot jointly to Geezabreak and FASS (Family Addiction Support Service); one bid was recorded. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and is valued at £2,417,808. The planned term is four years, with an option to extend by a further two years. The advertised estimated value was £2,439,768 for the potential six-year term; the annual block funding was based on minimum service delivery of 95%. The tender deadline was 15 July 2026. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%, with sustainability also considered; bidders needed at least 60 in every award question. Financial viability, insurance, health and safety, care registration and workforce requirements were qualifying conditions.

For providers of family support, recovery services, social care or community-based services, this award shows demand for a coordinated, Glasgow-wide offer that supports relatives and carers affected by someone else’s substance use. Credible providers need to combine confidential advice and emotional support with outreach, group work and some individual support, and be able to provide appropriate premises. The requirement also includes short-break or respite support for children and young people, so experience safeguarding and supporting vulnerable families is relevant. The council required appropriate Care Inspectorate registration for services to children and young people, with a minimum grade of Good, and staff PVG checks; relevant roles require Scottish Social Services Council registration. Providers also need financial viability, suitable insurance and health-and-safety arrangements, alongside capacity to meet minimum delivery levels under block funding. Quality and sustainability carry greater evaluation weight than price.
