## Summary

The London Borough of Hackney has completed the procurement process for a framework addressing non-healthcare substance use services, under the Procurement Act 2023. This procurement encompasses seven lots with various services ranging from flexible needle and syringe provision to legal advice for those involved in harmful substance use. The awards were concluded on February 2, 2026, with contracts commencing on April 1, 2026, and set to run for an initial two years, extendable for two additional one-year periods. The procurement process utilised an open procedure and adhered to a light-touch regime, focusing on social work-related services within various London regions.

This framework provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in social work and community support services, particularly those that specialise in employment and housing support for vulnerable populations. Additionally, the framework offers paths for entities that provide legal advice and support for individuals engaged in substance use. Organisations like ADFAM NATIONAL, ST GILES TRUST, and TURNING POINT (SERVICES) LIMITED have successfully secured lots, indicating room for large-scale and VCSE enterprises and showing the tender's inclination towards quality-driven outcomes. With the potential for extending contracts, new and established businesses can leverage this opportunity to bolster their services in line with public needs and strategic priorities in the social care domain.
