This process involves a service contract for an out-of-court disposal relating to drug possession, aiming to reduce repeated substance use offences. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure, with the award of the contract now pending following the submission period which ended on 2 March 2026. The contract supports justice-related services and may incorporate extensions of up to two additional years post the initial contract period ending on 30 June 2029. Key dates include a standstill period concluding on 1 April 2026 and a milestone future signature date scheduled for 24 April 2026. This tender, awarded to Red Snapper Managed Services Ltd, provides an excellent opportunity for businesses in justice, rehabilitation, and police services sectors to grow by delivering vital community programmes that address drug-related issues. Enterprises that can offer innovative solutions in rehabilitative interventions are well-suited to compete in these types of contracts, benefiting from opportunities to supply high-quality services within the justice system. The open nature of this procedure favours large and small enterprises focusing on social value and cost-effective service delivery. The potential renewals mean sustained engagement possibilities in serving community welfare and public safety, making this a strategic growth avenue for businesses in similar domains. ## Notice Service provides an out of court disposal (OOCR) to be given to an individual found in possession of a controlled drug. As an OOCR the intervention is an alternative to arrest and charge for possession. The expectation is that by undertaking the intervention there will be less chance of the individual continuing to use controlled substances. ### Planning Information Draft Specification is being shared with suppliers for comments prior to being finalised.
