## Summary

The procurement process was led by the Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust for providing an Alcohol Care Team as part of the Achieve community drug and alcohol service. This contract, classified under health services, primarily involved service provision within the UK region. It reached the award stage on 1st April 2026, though the contract was officially awarded on 18th June 2026. This limited procurement was conducted without a prior call for competition due to the necessity of specialised in-hospital support tied to existing services offered by Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust at Trafford General Hospital.

This procurement creates business opportunities, particularly for large organisations with capabilities in integrated healthcare service provision and hospital collaborations. This tender could appeal to businesses capable of delivering specialist support services that align closely with existing healthcare operations, particularly those with experience in drug and alcohol intervention programmes. The strategic partnership leveraged by the direct award highlights the potential for businesses to establish long-term relationships with health service providers and expand their footprint in the public health sector in the UK.
