ESCC is to commission a service which gives those who use it a strong sense of being in control of their lives, reduces incidents of harm relating to drug and alcohol misuse, and which responds flexibly to changing legislation, needs, and preferences. The contract is to be from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2031, with an option to extend for up to 60 months. The approximate lifetime value of the contract is £48,000,000. Decision makers were representatives from East Sussex County Council, Sussex Police, HM Prison and Probation Service and Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner. The decision was based on the awarded bidders ability to meet the 5 key criteria below (highest priority at the top): • Quality and Innovation • Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice • Integration, collaboration and service sustainability • Value • Social value No conflicts or potential conflicts of interest were declared during the process. This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Intention to Award Contract Notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. This award is to an existing provider for an existing service.
