New CDAS (community drug and alcohol service) contract awarded to WithYou and BAC O’Connor

Since January 2019, North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust, WithYou and BAC O’Connor have worked in a successful partnership to provide the current CDAS (community drug and alcohol service) for Stoke-on-Trent City Council, with Combined Healthcare as the lead provider.

Following careful consideration, North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust decided not to submit a bid as part of the recent tender process for the new contract, which starts in April 2024. This was a decision informed by in-depth analysis and determined by many factors, and our staff working in the current CDAS service have been kept informed throughout the tender process.

We congratulate WithYou and BAC O’Connor on being awarded the new five year contract.
