The procurement, under the 'open procedure' method, focuses on prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction. The framework is designed as part of the Council's public health duties and aligns with the Government's national drug strategy. The primary industry category of this procurement is health and social work services. Contracts were awarded to CHANGE, GROW, LIVE and AQUARIUS ACTION PROJECTS, with a start date of 1 April 2026 and an initial contract period of 60 months, extendable to up to 108 months. This procurement is a key component of the Council's strategy to support its citizens by promoting health and well-being through targeted intervention services, specifically tailored for adults and young people under the age of 25. This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in health and social work services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and those operated by voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this a fitting chance to engage in long-term projects with the local government. The procurement's open and light-touch regime is suitable for innovative companies looking to expand their service provision in the public health sector. Businesses with expertise in drug and alcohol dependency interventions and holistic support frameworks can leverage this opportunity to enhance their service delivery and contribute to community health improvements across the region. ## Notice North Northamptonshire Council conducted a procurement exercise (UK4 Tender Notice: 2025/S 000-037570) to commission a range of drug and alcohol services to support individuals across North Northamptonshire.
