The tender, awarded in June 2026, is for services within the health and social work sector, specifically focusing on substance use rehabilitation. The contract, valued at approximately £18.62 million, will see its service execution primarily in regions UKL17 and UKL18.

This Alliance, formalised through an agreement with an expected duration of up to ten years, marks a significant effort towards enhancing public health interventions in the specified regions.

This initiative provides ample business opportunities, particularly for organisations within the social care and rehabilitation services sector. It invites diverse, forward-thinking entities that have a robust foundation in collaborative working, community engagement, and innovative service delivery to partake in building an impactful alliance. With the focus on both clinical and non-clinical intervention strategies, businesses that can offer unique perspectives on prevention, intervention, and rehabilitation within the substance use sphere stand to gain significantly.
