## Summary

The Liverpool City Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the "Pre-habilitation Service for Drugs and Alcohol." This procurement falls under the services category, specifically within health and social work services (CPV 85000000). The initiative aims to provide a supported housing service for individuals on a recovery journey from substance use, with a focus on offering 24/7 on-site support. The service will be based in the UKD72 region, with a planned start date for the contract on 4th January 2027, running through to 30th March 2029, and potential extensions available until March 2030. The procurement method will follow an open procedure, backed by funding from the Housing Support Grant as part of the Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Improvement Grant. There is no immediate call for competition as this notice serves information and engagement purposes, with a potential future notice date set for 9th June 2026.

This upcoming tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those able to provide accommodation-based solutions with intensive support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially suited to compete, given the focus on tailored, high-impact community support. With an estimated contract value of £900,000, of which £750,000 is net, this project not only promises financial opportunity for businesses but also allows potential bidders to contribute significantly to public welfare by aiding in the recovery process of vulnerable populations in Liverpool. Bidders will need to provide an appropriate facility as part of their proposal, presenting an additional growth opportunity for businesses capable of fulfilling these infrastructure requirements.
