## Summary

The Fife Assertive Outreach & Recovery Service procurement process was conducted by Fife Council, seeking a qualified organisation to deliver services in the health and social work category. This project, focusing on substance use within Fife communities, consists of providing assertive outreach, trauma-informed care, and wraparound person-centered services. The tender process was conducted using an open procedure under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, with main industries targeted including community health and social work services. The active tender phase began on 2nd April 2026, with bids due by 5th May 2026. The contract was signed on 14th July 2026, and the awarded supplier is Substances Support Scotland, located in Kirkcaldy. The project, covering Fife, Scotland (UKM72), valued at approximately £4.2 million, is expected to commence for three years with possible extensions up to 12 months.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in health and social services, community healthcare, and substance recovery services. The requirement for a multifaceted approach allows for various businesses to contribute, whether through direct service delivery or supplementary offerings such as training and workforce development in related areas. As the procurement emphasises quality (90% weight) and price (10% weight), businesses equipped with a strong service portfolio in these areas would be well-positioned to compete effectively. Firms that can offer innovative, agile services to support Fife ADP's outreach and recovery objectives may find lucrative opportunities through both direct involvement and ancillary support functions.
