Inverclyde Council is procuring a mental health recovery support service for adults with mental health and/or drug or alcohol-related needs. The service will provide personalised and collective, recovery-oriented support, working with relevant statutory, third-sector and community organisations. It must also have regard to the principles and outcomes of the New Scots Refugee Integration Strategy where relevant and proportionate. The work is delivered in Inverclyde, including Greenock and surrounding communities. This is a public social care and community support service, classified under CPV 85000000, with related classifications covering social work services, welfare services and outpatient care services. The requirement is presented as one lot and includes community benefits and social value commitments.

The buyer has reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission.

The contract period is 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2030, with a renewal provision and a further retender exercise planned before expiry. Bids must remain valid for 120 days and be submitted in English; variants are not allowed. Evaluation gives 60 points to price and 5 points to outcomes and impact. Selection includes financial checks based on Dun & Bradstreet risk ratings and audited turnover, together with required insurance levels and evidence of relevant technical experience. The contract is covered by the GPA.

This suits established mental health, alcohol and drug recovery providers, social care organisations and community or third-sector support specialists able to deliver person-centred, recovery-focused services at scale. Bidders need at least two comparable examples from the previous three years, showing partnership working, measurable improvements, outcome evaluation, service improvement and trauma-informed, strengths-based practice. The service manager must hold or be working towards a relevant SCQF Level 9 qualification, or have at least two years’ demonstrable relevant experience; staff must hold or be working towards SVQ Level 3 in Social Services and Healthcare or an equivalent qualification.
