This procurement process, identified by tender ID PMCV 029, aims to engage potential providers through virtual sessions scheduled for early February 2026, with registration for participation required by the 5th of February 2026. The service delivery is anticipated to commence in April 2027 and run through March 2032, with a potential extension until March 2037. The process is categorised under services in a "light touch" regime, indicating specific procurement rules apply, and is valued at an estimated £40 million. This procurement tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating within the health and social work sectors, particularly those specialising in substance use treatment and recovery. Participating in the market engagement could allow companies to influence future service delivery models and establish fruitful partnerships with the council. Companies with expert knowledge in providing integrated and innovative healthcare solutions will likely find this opportunity aligns well with their business growth strategies. Engaging early in the procurement process allows businesses to showcase their capacity to contribute to substantial social impacts, particularly in addressing substance misuse within the community. ## Notice Shropshire Council (the Council) is preparing to re-tender the contract for Substance Use Services. We are looking to engage with potential providers of Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Services at virtual engagement sessions to discuss the possible future delivery of these services across Shropshire. In December 2021, the government published a 10-year drugs plan, 'From Harm to Hope', which committed to additional funding in England up to 2025. As a result, the Council received funding via the Supplemental Substance Misuse Treatment and Recovery Grant (SSMTRG) and the Rough Sleeping Drug and Alcohol Treatment Grant (RSDATG) to deliver several initiatives across the county that support and enhance substance use services. From 2026, these funding streams now form part of the Public Health Grant and as such, any future commissioning activity will be subject to the availability of grant funding and local and national approval. The Council would like at this stage in the development to engage with the market around commissioning and contract considerations prior to formulating any formal opportunity. This will be advertised in Summer 2026, with the service beginning in April 2027. Please note that this is not the commencement of any formal procurement process, and the Council is not committed to carrying out such a process. For the avoidance of doubt, no information provided in response to this process will be used by the Council in assessing providers during any subsequent procurement process. This early market engagement exercise is intended to allow potential providers to outline their views and to provide information for the Council's decision-making process. Any information provided during this process is solely for the purpose of the early market engagement process and no representation, warranty, or undertaking is given by the Council as to its accuracy or completeness, and the Council accepts no liability in relation to it. The contract value and contract dates provided, including the extension end date, are estimates only and may be subject to change. We cannot guarantee their accuracy at this stage.
