## Summary

East Sussex County Council has awarded a significant contract for the delivery of a Drug and Alcohol Treatment Service for adults aged 25 and over in East Sussex. The service, which includes interventions for those aged 18-25, represents a substantial commitment, with the contract spanning from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2031 and valued at approximately £48,000,000. The process followed was an open procedure under a Provider Selection Regime, notably distinct from the Procurement Act 2023 regulations. Based in Lewes, East Sussex County Council acts as the buyer with CHANGE, GROW, LIVE SERVICES LIMITED being the awarded supplier. The procurement focuses on rehabilitation services and is aimed at enhancing quality, improving access, and fostering integration and collaboration across the county, particularly within the UKJ22 region.

This tender offers extensive opportunities for business growth, particularly for organisations specialising in healthcare and rehabilitation services. Companies with a strategic interest in public health, clinical interventions, and community services would find this project well-aligned with their capabilities. The contract's extension potential up to 60 months further increases long-term opportunities for continuous improvement and sustainability in service delivery. Businesses that embed innovative and socially responsible practices, and can contribute to reducing health inequalities, enhancing service accessibility, and delivering high-quality, cost-effective solutions are likely to thrive in this procurement landscape.
