The service will support residents of Halton and is classified as a health service. Its scope combines treatment for drug and alcohol problems with recovery support, covering both adult and young-person provision within one integrated service. The council is the buyer and commissioning organisation. Delivery is in Halton, with the council based at the Municipal Building in Widnes. This is a public health and community-based service for organisations able to provide coordinated substance-misuse treatment and recovery support across the relevant age groups. This procurement is at the planning stage: Halton Borough Council has stated its intention to procure and has not issued an invitation to tender. The council expects to use the Provider Selection Regime 2023 and the Most Suitable Provider Process under Regulation 10, rather than a competitive procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or Procurement Act 2023. There is one planned lot covering the full integrated service. The buyer’s indicative date for the next notice is 25 October 2026. The intended approach is to award a contract through the Most Suitable Provider Process, subject to the Provider Selection Regime. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. This will suit providers specialising in integrated drug and alcohol services, particularly organisations able to support both adults and young people. Relevant capability includes delivering substance-misuse treatment, recovery programmes and wider support as a coordinated service for local residents. Providers with established community-based operations in Halton, or with the capacity to organise consistent delivery across the area, are likely to be well placed when the procurement progresses. The stated approach focuses on identifying the most suitable provider under the Provider Selection Regime, so organisations should prepare clear evidence of their experience, service model, safeguarding arrangements, outcomes and ability to meet the needs of different age groups. The work is relevant to health and specialist recovery organisations rather than general facilities or goods suppliers. ## Notice Provision of an Integrated Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Service for Adults and Young people in Halton.
