## Summary

The procurement process for "Community Based Early Intervention Services for Adults and Family Members / Carers / People affected by Substance Use" was managed by the Business Services Organisation - Procurement and Logistics Service (BSO PaLS) on behalf of the Public Health Agency (PHA) in Northern Ireland. This initiative focuses on health and social work services, specifically targeting substance use interventions and support. It involves multiple lots across various Health and Social Care Trusts, namely Belfast, South Eastern, Northern, Western, and Southern. The procurement method was an open procedure, culminating in the award stage as of 9th September 2025. The contracts cover an initial three-year period with options to extend for another four years, amounting to a significant total value considering potential service increases. The purchases fall under the CPV code 85000000, indicating they are within the health and social work services category, with activities mostly occurring in the UKN region.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social work and counselling services, particularly those with expertise in psychoeducational materials and interventions for substance use. With a total value projected across all lots, there is substantial room for growth, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can deliver comprehensive early intervention services. The procurement process allows such businesses to establish themselves within the public health and social care sectors in Northern Ireland, potentially increasing their market presence and service offerings. Given the structured intervention and support requirements, businesses with a strong background in community services, substance use counselling, and support for affected family members will be well-suited to compete and contribute meaningfully to this initiative.
