This process falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, allowing a direct award process without prior publication for competition. The contract, valued at £11,335,000, covers a period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, with options for two one-year extensions, ending 31 March 2031. Key procurement stages included the intention to award notice in March 2026, followed by formal contract award in late March of the same year, demonstrating a streamlined approach in service continuity specific to substance misuse assistance.

The preference towards maintaining an existing provider underscores the importance of continuity and familiarity in managing intricate service provisions.
