## Summary

The Welland Procurement Unit is initiating a procurement process titled "Tender for Substance Misuse Service" aimed at developing a community-based substance misuse and treatment service in Rutland, England. The process is currently in the planning stage, with the service intended to commence on 1st October 2017, utilising a single-stage open procurement method. The budget for this contract is set at a maximum of £90,000 per year, totalling £450,000 over a potential five-year period, with an engagement end date for vendor contributions on 23rd February 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those specialising in community health, substance misuse treatment, and related advisory services. Companies that offer structured treatment interventions for both adults and young people, and possess the capability for needle exchange and supervised consumption services, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, aiming to bridge the gaps in local service delivery and enhance community health outcomes.
