What is being bought

Published requirement description

East Sussex County Council have awarded under a Provider Selection Regime Competitive Process, a contract for a Strategic Provider to deliver a County Wide Service for the support of adults aged 25 and over (including the delivery of pharmacological and clinical interventions for those 18-25), who require support relating to the use of drugs and the misuse of alcohol. ESCC is commissioning 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.

This contract was awarded on 4 November 2025.

The contract is from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2031, with an option to extend for up to 60 months. The approximate lifetime value of the contract is £48,000,000.

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award notice. This contract has been awarded under 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 contract has now been formally awarded using the competitive process.

The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Oct 2035, 23:59 BST.
No preliminary market engagement: Under the Provider Selection Regime it is not a mandatory requirement to publish a Preliminary market engagement notice.
