## Summary

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets, a public authority under sub-central government, is planning a procurement for services related to "Substance Misuse". This contract will focus on creating an integrated service delivery for engagement, treatment, and recovery services within the criminal justice sector. The procurement stage is currently in planning, with a future notice date set for 30th July 2025. The project, with an estimated gross value of £30 million, will be executed via a competitive flexible procedure. The contract period is anticipated to start on 1st April 2026 and extend until 31st March 2029, with potential for renewal. The services will cover multiple regions across the United Kingdom, involving a coordinated approach by a lead provider alongside subcontracted partners.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those with expertise in managing integrated service models within the criminal justice framework. Companies with experience in providing comprehensive coordination across multiple service areas will find this contract particularly suitable. The structure of having a lead provider act as a central coordination point could present significant growth potential for firms capable of delivering such robust management and collaborative networks. Businesses aiming to leverage their capabilities in enhancing service delivery outcomes, especially in the regions identified, would be well-positioned to compete for this tender.

## Notice

The preferred model will involve the creation of an integrated contract, where a lead provider coordinates a network of subcontracted providers to deliver services. The LBTH Criminal Justice Service (CJS) will remain a Council service but work seamlessly as part of a multi- agency team around the needs of the individual, specialising in offering engagement, treatment and recovery services for those in contact with Criminal Justice agencies, so streamlining the number of agencies working with an individual. The option for co-location will improve the experience and outcomes for those accessing treatment. The lead provider will ensure cohesive delivery across all service areas, from engagement to treatment and recovery. They will act as the single point of coordination for service users and partners.
