## Summary

The public procurement process for "Substance Use Care Pathways" was carried out by Bristol City Council, a regional authority located in Bristol, United Kingdom (UKK11 region). This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and has been conducted through a direct award procedure, with no prior publication of a call for competition, due to its specific nature and necessity for an existing provider. The contract was awarded to North Bristol NHS Trust on 29th May 2025 and involves a total contract value of GBP 90,000. The procurement stage is registered as complete.

This tender presents opportunities for growth, particularly for large healthcare providers with the capacity to deliver highly specialised medical and social services within established geographical areas. Given the specific nature of this direct award, it reflects a niche opportunity predominantly for existing providers with experience and capability in managing such comprehensive care pathways. Businesses with a strategic focus on healthcare service delivery and existing regional partnerships, similar to North Bristol NHS Trust, would be well-suited to engage with similar future procurement opportunities that may arise from local authorities like Bristol City Council.
