## Summary

The City of London Corporation has recently completed the procurement process for the "Pan London Substance Misuse Programme – Online Portal for Inpatient Detoxification and Stabilisation (IPD) beds." This initiative aims to provide a strategic approach to managing inpatient detoxification and stabilisation services across London. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, and the award was publicly announced on 14 October 2025, with the contract starting on 1 April 2026 and ending on 31 March 2029. The project operates under the main procurement category of services, specifically health and social work services. It targets sub-central government public authorities and involves strategic collaboration with the Greater London Authority, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, and other regional partners, focusing on reducing health inequalities within the region.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in health and social care, especially those focusing on inpatient services. With a contract value estimated at over £900,000, businesses equipped to provide medically assisted withdrawal beds can greatly benefit. The open procedure facilitates competition, allowing both large enterprises and SMEs to partake, with provisions specifically accommodating SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) bids. The tender positions businesses to collaborate with regional and local authorities, delivering expansive services through an online portal and creating leverage for expanding their service offerings in London and potentially setting a precedent for similar frameworks elsewhere in the UK.

## Notice

Summary of requirements: The City of London Corporation is seeking to commission one Lead Provider to deliver an online Portal of IPD beds for participating Local Authorities to access IPD beds across the country. The City of London Corporation is acting as a lead authority and accountable body for commissioning the online portal for this project. Background In 2021 the Pan-London In-patient Detoxification Programme was developed to address low levels of inpatient detoxification and stabilisation services in London and to develop more sustainable IPD services and a strategic, longer term programme to meet the needs of this key health inclusion group. Building on the Pan-London commissioning arrangements, the IPD Online Portal is the next phase of this strategy. A Lead Provider will work with London partners to build on the London IPD model to support more accessible, dispersed IPD services and contribute to London's action to reduce health inequalities. The IPD Online Portal will provide a range of IPD services which meet a range of client needs and have a good geographical spread. The Lead Provider will also work alongside regional strategic partners to develop increasing levels of IPD provision in London for: * Specialist inpatient medically assisted withdrawal beds. * Residential medically assisted withdrawal beds. The Lead Provider will: * Be responsive to evolving needs and will operate with a high level of accountability, transparency and governance * Be monitored using national and local Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and will work with City of London, the Association of Directors of Public-London (ADPHL), Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) and the Greater London Authority (GLA) to highlight areas of best practice that can be shared locally and nationally * Require and ensure IPD services included in the Online IPD Portal must meet CQC registration requirements (Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2009 and the Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009) and provide evidence of current registration. In accordance with regulation 27 (2) of the procurement regulation 2024, the mandatory standstill period will commence on 14 October 2025 and will expire at midnight on the 24th of October.

Preliminary Market Engagement (PME)
PME in this case is where the City, at an early stage in the development of its proposals but prior to formulating any formal procurement opportunity, seeks input from the market as to what might be the most attractive way of packaging and scoping a future procurement opportunity. 
This exercise will provide an opportunity for the City to obtain insight into how participants might approach the delivery of the service in question. It also gives a useful early insight into the likely level of interest in a proposed project from that market. 
Participants must also note that a response to this notice does not guarantee an invitation to participate in this or any future procurement that the City may conduct, nor that the City will procure any such supply and services or accept any proposals offered. Any Procurement of the supply and services by the City will be carried out strictly in accordance with the Procurement Act (PA23).
The City has developed a questionnaire (attached at the end of this document) that they would like interested parties to complete.
As stated above, the outcome of the PME exercise will inform an options appraisal with recommendations.
