Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Advocacy Provision in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough - Provider Event" is currently at the planning stage, initiated by LGSS (Local Government Shared Services), which represents both Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council. The event is focused on the provision of Independent Advocacy Services, falling under the health and social work services industry category. It will take place on 7th March 2018 at the Cambridge Professional Development Centre, Trumpington, with an engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018. Interested parties were invited to attend an information event to learn about the tender process and the outcome of stakeholder consultation.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in advocacy and social services to engage in the re-commissioning of an integrated advocacy service. Companies that can provide specialised advocacy services or have experience meeting the requirements of the Care Act 2014 will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The new service aims to improve upon previous offerings and is looking for providers who can demonstrate commitment to the principles of independent advocacy, hence promoting potential growth for businesses aligned with these values.

Notice Title

Advocacy Provision in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough - Provider Event

Notice Description

**Please note the window for this opportunity is now closed** Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council invite potential providers to an information event about Independent Advocacy Services. This is an opportunity to find out about the outcome of stakeholder consultation and about the tender process. The consultation can be found here: http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/site/custom_scripts/cons_details.aspx?ref=415 The event will be held on Monday 7th March, 10.00-11.30 at the Cambridge Professional Development Centre, Trumpington. If you wish to attend please contact Alison Bourne (alison.bourne@cambridgeshire.gov.uk) as soon as possible to secure your place. The Councils are taking the implementation of the Care Act 2014 as an opportunity to re-commission a new integrated advocacy service for their areas. It has recently been agreed that Cambridgeshire and Peterborough will work together to take forward a joint commissioning approach. The process will culminate in two separate contracts so that financial arrangements and budgets remain clearly defined within each area. However, we will take forward a single tender process and agree on joint monitoring processes. Both Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council are fully committed to the principles and benefits of independent advocacy and want the new independent advocacy service to build on the success of current and previous services.
