## Summary

The East Sussex County Council is currently in the tender stage for the provision of Project Adder Services, specifically targeting Care Navigation Services and Prison In-Reach Services. This initiative, with a total value of £258,992 and a minimum value of £78,536, aims to mitigate the harmful effects of heroin and crack cocaine use in Hastings, East Sussex.

The procurement method is open, allowing for broad participation, and falls under the health and social work services category (CPV code 85000000).

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those with experience in addiction support and community-based interventions. Companies that can deliver innovative solutions in care navigation and rehabilitation services may find themselves well-positioned to succeed in this procurement process. The focus on reducing drug misuse and addressing serious crime provides a compelling context for organisations aiming to contribute positively to community health outcomes while expanding their operational footprint.

## Notice

The Care Navigation Service and Prison In reach service are being commissioned using funding from Project Adder. The scope of the project is to provide a range of interventions that address and reduce the harm caused by the supply and use of heroin and crack cocaine in Hastings, East Sussex. The government's Shared Outcomes Fund is designed to test innovative approaches to address cross-cutting issues affecting society. This includes funding totalling PS28 million to help join up agencies to break up serious and organised crime gangs whilst tackling addictions due to a focus on drug misuse. The Home Office will work with the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) and Public Health England (PHE) to pilot an intensive whole system approach to tackling drug misuse in select locations worst affected by drug misuse, alongside national activity to disrupt the supply of drugs. Hastings has been identified as one of four pilot locations for this funding due to high rates of drug deaths and high rates of heroin and crack cocaine use.
