MARKET WARMING EVENT - THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION

INTRODUCTION
Bolton Council are in the process of considering the options for the future design and procurement of the Provision of a Drug and Alcohol Integrated Prevention, Treatment and Recovery Service for Adults (18yrs +).

The current contract expires on 31 March 2026 therefore the council is currently making plans for a future contract.

Many of you will know that previously we collaboratively commissioned the above type of service in partnership with Salford and Trafford. We are moving forward to procure a ‘Bolton Only’ service.

We would like to hold an online Market Warming Event in May 2025 (further details below) to ensure viability of delivering across the lifetime of the contract, it is anticipated that the contract length will be a minimum of 4 years (plus 3).
