## Summary

The procurement process for "Substance Use Recovery Interventions for Justice Services" was led by the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales. This contract, valued at £7,510,469.65 with a focus on health and social work services, targets several local authority areas including Bridgend, Cardiff, and the Vale of Glamorgan. It covers interventions in public sector prisons and is part of a broader effort commissioned alongside His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service Wales. The procurement adopted an open procedure under the light-touch regime, with key dates such as the award date of 28 January 2026 and the contract commencement from 1 April 2026 until 31 March 2028, with the possibility of a 12-month extension. The project involves collaborating with several organisations like local health boards and housing contractors to deliver comprehensive support services.

This award presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in the health and social care sectors, especially those capable of providing drug and alcohol intervention services. Large enterprises with expertise in managing complex service frameworks that require coordination with multiple stakeholders are well-placed to benefit. Additionally, companies able to innovate in engaging diverse service users influenced by criminogenic needs linked to substance use can capitalise on this contract. The emphasis on collaboration with existing local infrastructure means that entities familiar with the area and existing service networks stand to gain significantly from participating in this public service initiative.
