Description
The Authority is commissioning a Statutory
Advocacy Service for the provision of a range of
statutory advocacy services.
The Supplier will deliver a Service that reflects the
key principles of:
• making use of digital.
• recognising the benefits of strength-based and
asset-based approaches to improving health and
wellbeing, promoting independence and building
community capacity.
• targeting and supporting those with greatest need.
• encouraging Individuals to build their skills and
confidence to self-advocate
• adopt lean and flexible working practices in order
to maximise service reach
• demonstrate continual learning and share best
practice through local partnerships and forums.
The total estimated value (without VAT) for the
contract period including extension period is
£1,977,453. A tender submission received that
exceeds the Maximum Total Annual Budget of
£659,151 for either year 1,2 or 3 and the Contract
value of £1,977,453 would be REJECTED.
The service to be procured as a competitive tender
using the open procedure is classed as a Light
Touch Contract under the Procurement Act 2023.
A supplier "bidders day" was held on Wednesday 27 August 2025 at 10.30am - 12.00 noon, via Microsoft Teams and gave suppliers an opportunity to ask Procurement and/or the Commissioning area questions in relation to the procurement process.
Suppliers were requested to have familiarised
themselves with the Tender Documents prior to this
event to avoid duplicating questions raised
previously and already answered. Where a supplier
was unable to attend, information was shared via
an e-tendering Proactis post, shortly after the event.
This included any questions asked and their
respective answers.
Suppliers were still be able to submit pre-tender clarifications after the event in line with the process outlined in the IA3595 ITT
Procurement Pack.
