Published requirement description

*****Please note: This is a Notice of Intention to Award a Contract notice for a PSR Competitive Process, it is not a

PCR2015 process.*****

Evaluation and Moderation have been completed, and standstill will start tomorrow.

Oldham Council is seeking to commission a Lived Experience Recovery Support Service for Substance Use. The service will provide recovery-focused, community-based support for adults affected by drug and/or alcohol use. The service will be grounded in, and shaped by, the meaningful involvement of people with lived and living experience of substance use and recovery. This approach recognises the critical role that lived experience plays in improving service relevance, quality, engagement, retention, and recovery outcomes.

The commissioned service will operate independently, while working collaboratively with the wider substance use treatment system, to strengthen recovery capital, amplify lived experience voices, and support sustained recovery within our local communities.
