## Summary

The procurement process for the 'Co-occurring Substance Use and Mental Health 2025 - AWARD' was conducted by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council. This tender, classified under Research and Development services (CPV: 73000000), focuses on improving services for individuals facing challenges with both substance use and mental health. The project aligns with national strategies for drug and alcohol policy, with the goal of enhancing integrated support systems. The procurement followed an open procedure, with the award issued to Alcohol Change UK on 2nd December 2025. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 15th December 2025 and conclude on 30th April 2026, serving locations including the United Kingdom and its territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services, specifically those with expertise in public health, substance use, and mental health fields. Businesses providing evidence-based, strategic solutions that can influence policy and service improvements would be particularly well-suited to benefit from such opportunities. Though the contract has been awarded to Alcohol Change UK, similar tenders in the future could provide growth avenues for organisations capable of delivering systemic improvements in the health sector. This project exemplifies the type of initiative where expertise in data analysis, stakeholder engagement, and system enhancement can lead to meaningful contributions and business growth.

## Notice

The project will align with national strategies such as the 2021 Drug Strategy and emerging alcohol policy, ensuring a system-wide, evidence-based approach that informs future commissioning and supports better outcomes for local residents.
