## Summary

Walsall Council is planning a procurement process for the provision of Drug and Alcohol Residential Rehabilitation Services, aiming to enhance access to residential rehabilitation for its residents. The current stage is a preliminary market engagement (PME), which allows potential suppliers to provide their feedback to help shape the procurement options and requirements. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically rehabilitation services, with a gross value of £1,440,000. This initiative is situated in Walsall, United Kingdom, and the council has expressed interest in potentially establishing a standalone framework or a consortium framework for service provision. The deadline for PME participation is set for 12:00 Noon on 24th February 2026.

This tender opens significant business opportunities for organisations specialising in rehabilitation services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as the tender is suitable for these types of businesses. It presents a chance to engage with the public health sector to provide essential services that contribute to community welfare and recovery. Participating in the PME could position businesses favourably for subsequent procurement processes, although it is not a prerequisite for the future bidding. The tender offers potential stable financial returns and extends over multiple years, with the contract period anticipated to begin on 1st April 2027 and extend to 31st March 2029, with options for renewal up until 2033.

## Notice

Residential rehabilitation is an intensive intervention that provides people with a safe and therapeutically effective environment to stop their drug and alcohol use, and help them to lead a life in recovery. In the year to Sept 2025, Walsall made 12 residential rehabilitation placements and aims to increase take up of residential rehab provision in future years. The Council is exploring the procurement of this service through the following options: - A standalone framework for 'call off' placements for Walsall residents only - An element of a contract with community-based provision (ie. under subcontracting arrangements, or similar, with a tier 3 service) - A consortium framework for 'call off' placements for residents of a number of local authority areas. The Council is carrying out PME in relation to this project. The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council's options, requirements and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. To access the PME documentation please visit the Council's e-tendering system Intend at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/walsallcouncil/aspx/Home and follow the on-screen guidance. To participate in this PME, organisations must return their completed Supplier Questionnaire (Appendix A of the PME Document), together with any supporting documents, through the Correspondence area of this project by the return deadline of 12.00 Noon on 24th February 2026, as per the PME documentation and e-tendering system. Supplier Questionnaires received after the deadline may not be reviewed at the Council's sole discretion. Please make sure that you have submitted your Supplier Questionnaire following the instructions within the PME documentation and e-tendering system. The Council will not be held accountable for any errors made by an organisation in submitting their Supplier Questionnaire.
