The procurement, categorised under health and social work services, was conducted by direct procurement method without competition and falls below the threshold. The contract was signed with A Way Out and is active from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with potential extensions available up to 31 March 2031. Key project objectives include providing flexible support and out-of-hours services to engage females facing multiple disadvantages, addressing local and national goals in reducing health inequalities within the Stockton on Tees, UKC11 region. This tender offers significant growth opportunities, particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and organisations in the health and social services sector. Businesses specialising in outreach services, substance abuse recovery, and support for vulnerable populations are well-suited to participate. By addressing key societal needs and improving local health outcomes, such businesses can leverage this initiative to demonstrate their expertise and fulfil crucial community support roles. Engaging in these contracts can help businesses expand their impact, build new relationships, and enhance their service delivery capabilities within the public sector. ## Notice As part of local and national ambitions to reduce unmet need for substance use, improve support for people experiencing complex lives/multiple disadvantage, improve accessibility of services (including outreach/out-of-office offers) and reduce health inequalities across at-risk population groups, the service aims to: * Provide a flexible 'duty' response offer to support the immediate needs of females experiencing multiple disadvantage, recognising that this community doesn't always engage well with appointment based/case work, or sometimes requires more urgent care and support. * Provide enhanced outreach services and out-of-hours support to engage females experiencing multiple disadvantage, including joint work with local substance use treatment and recovery services. ### Planning Information Providers who would be interested in bidding for this contract must access the opportunity via the OPEN portal: https://www.open-uk.org/opportunities/overview/public/e54afce8-18bd-4764-ab80-46bc1914724d Providers must then complete and submit the attached document before the specified deadline.
