## Summary

The procurement process was conducted by NHS Highland, situated in Inverness, for the provision of advocacy services aimed at adults experiencing drug and alcohol use problems, specifically in Mid Argyll, Oban, and Dunoon. Classified under the health and social work services industry, this initiative is a part of the services procurement category. The process, uniquely conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, concluded with the award on 8th June 2026. The contract, valued at £61,800, is currently active with Lomond & Argyll Advocacy Service appointed as the supplier.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those focusing on advocacy support for individuals with substance use issues. Companies with expertise in delivering tailored support and programmes for community health interventions are well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. The limited procurement method indicates that the requirement fell below the regulatory financial threshold, potentially encouraging smaller enterprises and SMEs, like Lomond & Argyll Advocacy Service, to engage without the need for open competition. This approach allows businesses specialising in niche health services to expand their reach within specific regional areas.
