This will include the provision of harm reduction training to staff working in temporary accommodation settings. This is a specialist service, requiring a local hub and the necessary infrastructure to deliver the service. The Council's market knowledge in this category is strong, resulting from a number of recent competitive procurements undertaken for a range of substance misuse support services. It is clear that there are no other local providers with the necessary knowledge, experience and premises in-county who could undertake the work. The Service Provider has been conducting the same work in Hastings since November 2020, meaning that the benefit of this would be lost if another provider were to be contracted at this point. In addition, there is a need to have existing contacts and networks in place for continued successful delivery. Due to uncertainties with funding it was not possible to offer this contract on a longer term when a waiver was previously granted. ## CPV classification Health and social work services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice ](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/94ebf1ce-8b61-4809-a8c0-4d3f2928cd1d) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
