This initiative falls under the category of health and social work services and seeks to provide supported housing with round-the-clock assistance for individuals transitioning towards rehabilitation. The procurement process is taking place in Liverpool, specifically within the UKD72 region, with a market engagement event scheduled on 11th May 2026, via Microsoft Teams. Interested providers need to express their interest by a specified deadline in May 2026. The service aims to start operations by 4th January 2027 and continue through March 2029, with an option for renewal, and the procurement is valued at approximately £750,000 to £900,000 GBP. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social work sectors, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive support services in recovery settings. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the emphasis on sourcing suitable facilities for service delivery. The contract potential not only supports community well-being but also allows businesses with expertise in housing management and substance use recovery to expand their operations and project portfolio. The Housing Support Grant, part of the Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Improvement Grant, funds this procurement, ensuring that successful bidders will be part of a government-backed initiative. ## Notice The Pre-hab Service' will provide a supported housing offer for those individuals who are on a recovery journey but require an additional period of support prior to entering rehabilitation. It will offer 24/7 on-site support to a minimum of 8 people at any one time, plus a short-stay high-support bed. The service aims to provide a vital bridge between an unmanageable life of dependent substance use and abstinence-based recovery. It will enable people who are known to struggle to make the transition into structured treatment with a preparatory step to enable their longer-term outcomes more sustainable. The service will be delivered in an accommodation-based setting with 24/7 on-site support and intensive housing management to enable individuals prepare people for long-term, sustainable changes in their lifestyle and behaviour. Bidders will be required to source the appropriate building from which to base the service as part of their tender proposal. The service is funded by the Housing Support Grant (HS) element of the Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Improvement Grant (DATRIG). This notice is issued for information and engagement purposes only and does not constitute a call for competition. ### Planning Information Date: Monday 11th May 2026 at 2pm - 3.pm Location: Microsoft Teams The Market Engagement is for a Pre-Hab Service.
