This initiative aims to overhaul the existing services in line with the Combatting Drugs Partnership Strategy (2024–2027), targeting adults aged 18 and above. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a total value of £6,576,321, and is expected to start its contract period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, with a possible extension until 29 March 2031. The industry category is focused on Health and Social Work Services, located in the London Borough, and a preliminary market engagement is scheduled for 14 August 2025. The procurement is above threshold, indicating a competitive exercise to select a lead provider. This upcoming tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those with experience in substance misuse and recovery services. It offers a chance to engage as a lead provider and coordinate a consortium to ensure integrated service delivery. Firms with a robust network of subcontractors, efficient coordination capabilities, and a focus on service engagement, treatment, and recovery are well-suited to succeed in this tender. Engaging in this project can enhance a company's portfolio and provide substantial business growth potential in partnership with a public authority such as the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. ## Notice London Borough of Tower Hamlets is recommissioning a borough-wide, world-class adult substance misuse treatment system, aligned with the Combatting Drugs Partnership Strategy (2024-2027). Currently Tower Hamlets commissions and delivers a range of substance misuse treatment and recovery services for residents aged 18 plus, collectively branded as "Reset". Following a period of review that includes a refreshed Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), detailed system review and series of engagement events; the cabinet report recommended the commissioning of a refreshed model when existing contracts come to an end in late 2025. It presented a case for continued investment in substance misuse engagement, harm reduction, treatment and recovery services; and a timeline for implementation of this model through a competitive procurement exercise. ### Planning Information The Council’s vision for the new service is an integrated consortium contract, where a lead provider coordinates a network of subcontracted providers to deliver services. ​ 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.​ ​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.
