About

A supplier is sought to deliver the Individual Placement Support (IPS) scheme providing tailored employment support to people receiving structured community treatment for drug and alcohol dependence through the Suffolk Integrated Drug and Alcohol Treatment Service provider, Turning Point.

The submission deadline is 12 June 2026 at 11:00 and clarification questions must be submitted via the website correspondence option by 27 May 2026.
