## Summary

Leicester City Council has initiated a tender for the "ASC0255 - Leicester Specialist Substance Misuse Service," classified under health and social work services. The procurement process is currently at the active tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 10 September 2021. This service aims to provide a comprehensive range of interventions to reduce substance-related harm within the Leicester area, with proposals requested from qualified organisations to deliver these services. The contract is expected to span an initial period of four years, commencing on 1 April 2022, with the potential for further extensions based on performance.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sectors, particularly those with expertise in substance misuse treatment and community rehabilitation services. Companies offering services such as clinical support, peer mentoring, and educational programmes would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, organisations that can demonstrate experience working collaboratively with criminal justice agencies will find this tender particularly attractive, given the requirement for a robust pathway across custody and post-release support.
