What is being bought

Published requirement description

PSR (Provider Selection Regime) regulations apply

London Borough of Tower Hamlets is recommissioning a borough-wide, world-class adult substance misuse treatment system, aligned with the Combatting Drugs Partnership Strategy (2024–2027). Currently Tower Hamlets commissions and delivers a range of substance misuse treatment and recovery services for residents aged 18 plus, collectively branded as “Reset”. Following a period of review that includes a refreshed Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), detailed system review and series of engagement events; the cabinet report recommended the commissioning of a refreshed model when existing contracts come to an end in late 2025. It presented a case for continued investment in substance misuse engagement, harm reduction, treatment and recovery services; and a timeline for implementation of this model through a competitive procurement exercise.
