## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council, in conjunction with the Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership and the Edinburgh Alcohol and Drug Partnership, has completed a tender process for the "Whole Family Approach Service for Families Affected by Parental Substance Use." This procurement falls under the health and social work services industry and targets families across Edinburgh, designated with the CPV code 85000000. The procurement stage is now at the award phase, and the contract was awarded on 9th June 2026, with an estimated value of £2,109,488. The open procedure was used according to the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, and the contract will last potentially up to 8 years, including optional extensions.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses within the health and social services sector, particularly those experienced in delivering comprehensive family support services. Given the contract's city-wide scope and potential duration, single providers or consortia with established lead organisations are well-suited to compete, especially if they demonstrate compliance with necessary regulations and offer innovative family support solutions. The procurement method favoured open submission, allowing fair competition to provide a service that aligns with the strategic priorities of the Edinburgh Alcohol and Drug Partnership, fostering benefit contributions and community engagement. Circle, a small to medium enterprise (SME), has been awarded the contract, showcasing the council's openness to diverse business scales meeting their project criteria.
