Prevention & Cessation: Commissioning services centred on prevention, early intervention, and behaviour change, helping reduce demand for crisis or acute care. Services include support with mental health, housing stability, employment, financial inclusion, domestic abuse, and wider preventative services. This is an open framework, which will reopen again in 2026. Under the Procurement Act 2023, this notice starts standstill. Standstill will close at midnight on 26 November 2025.
