Derby City Council will shortly be conducting a Competitive Process under The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 to retender for a Drug and Alcohol integrated recovery-oriented system of care. We are inviting suitably qualified and experienced organisations in advance of a formal tendering process to a face-to-face event - to give an overview of our current strategic priorities and how they may influence future delivery in our local geography. This event will take place on 17th June 2025 from 9.30 am to 1.00 pm at Derby City Council, Council House, Corporation St, Derby, DE1 2FS. It is anticipated that our competitive process will begin in July 2025 and new services will commence delivery on 1st April 2026.
