## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire commissioned substance misuse services. The requirement is for the provision of services supporting people affected by substance misuse, classified as other services. Delivery covers England, across the English regions. The contracting authority is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire, based in Leicester. The procurement was arranged as a single service requirement and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It may therefore be relevant to organisations delivering substance misuse support, treatment or related public services, including voluntary, community and social enterprise providers. The buyer’s requirement is public-service delivery rather than the supply of goods or construction works, and the appointed provider is a specialist services organisation operating at national scale.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The buyer used a direct award to continue existing services. The award was made on 9 September 2026 to Turning Point (Services) Limited. The awarded value is £262,146 excluding VAT, or £314,575.20 including VAT. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a possible one-off 12-month extension to 31 March 2028. The award is active and covers the single lot. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 1 October 2026. The recorded route was justified as a continuation of services, so this outcome reflects an established service requirement and an incumbent-style continuation rather than a competitive tender with scored bids.

This award indicates continuing public-sector demand for substance misuse services delivered across England, including requirements managed by policing and public-safety authorities. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability to provide reliable, person-centred substance misuse services at national scale and to sustain delivery across multiple regions. Relevant organisations are likely to include established treatment and support providers, large voluntary or community-sector operators, and smaller specialist providers able to evidence sufficient operational capacity. Experience of managing an ongoing public service, maintaining continuity for service users and working with public authorities would strengthen a supplier’s position. The buyer’s acceptance that the requirement is suitable for SMEs also suggests that smaller specialist organisations may be relevant, potentially through partnership or subcontracting arrangements where their direct capacity is limited.
