Published requirement description

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is seeking early market engagement in preparation for procuring a contract to deliver a research and draft report on the barriers and opportunities for Addiction Treatment Research in the Criminal Justice System.

Interested parties can access the relevant documents via the Atamis system at health-family.force.com/s/Welcome ↗ using the contract reference. Suppliers may also submit the completed questionnaire through Atamis but must be registered on the system to do so. Alternatively, questionnaires can be submitted by email to [email protected], quoting “AHG: Conducting Addiction Research within the Criminal Justice System” no later than 23/06/2025 5pm.
