## Summary

The London Borough of Havering intends to commission a specialist drug and alcohol service for children and young people in Havering. The service falls within health and social care and is intended for the borough’s young residents. The procurement is planned as a single service lot, with the lot identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Delivery is in Havering; the commissioning description does not set out further service components or delivery arrangements.

This is at the planning stage: Havering has set out its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The buyer expects the next procurement notice on 1 April 2027. One service lot is planned, with a contract period from 1 April 2028 to 31 March 2031 and a possible extension to 31 March 2033. The stated procurement value is £900,000. Havering is conducting preliminary market engagement and invites interested organisations to complete its questionnaire by 30 October 2026, submitting it by email and through Atamis. No procurement procedure or evaluation basis is set out at this stage.

The planned service is explicitly considered suitable for SMEs and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so providers in those groups may be well placed to contribute to the market engagement and prepare for the later competition. Relevant experience in specialist drug and alcohol support for children and young people, and the capability to deliver services in Havering, align with the stated purpose. The buyer has not yet set out detailed service requirements, qualifications, accreditations, staffing expectations or evaluation priorities. The preliminary market engagement is an opportunity for providers with relevant expertise to inform development of the requirement; it is not an invitation to bid. Further procurement information is expected with the subsequent notice.
