This contract is specialist and expensive (£893k per year). Most small traders will be disqualified because it requires: proven expertise in substance misuse and criminal justice services, a trained and resilient workforce ready to operate in custody and court environments, robust safeguarding and risk management, and the ability to engage complex cases. Single-person or very small operations without relevant track record will not succeed.
