Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Borough of Telford & Wrekin, which has awarded a contract titled "Statutory Advocacy" within the health and social work services industry. This open procedure tender aimed to appoint a provider to deliver independent advocacy services for eligible individuals aged 16 and above who face significant difficulties in engaging with care and health-related processes. The contract was awarded on 16 July 2019 and is set to run from 1 October 2019 until 30 September 2026, with a total contract value of £525,000. Delivery addresses for the service will be located within the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to engage in public procurement within the advocacy services sector. Businesses that specialise in social work, mental health services, or advocacy support for vulnerable groups would be particularly well-positioned to participate in future procurement processes, especially given the expected rise in demand due to changes in legislation regarding Liberty Protection Safeguards. The collaborative nature of this contract encourages potential suppliers to adapt and innovate their service delivery to better meet the needs of the local authority and the community they serve.

Notice Title

GB-Telford & Wrekin: Statutory Advocacy

Notice Description

Telford & Wrekin Council appointed a Provider to support the Council to fulfil its duty with regard to the provision of non-instructed advocacy. The service is for eligible people aged 16+ who have been judged to have substantial difficulty or lack the capacity to engage with processes relating to their care, health and support services, or in deprivation of liberty situations, and do not have an appropriate individual to represent them. The ultimate goal of the service is to encourage empowerment in order that Individuals rights are secured, help them to make choices, promote the individual's well-being and ensure that their wishes are taken fully into account. In so doing, the service will promote social inclusion, equality and social justice. The tender consolidates several Independent Advocacy requirements into a single contract to cover the following: *Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy (IMCA), including Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and Relevant Individual's Representative (RPR); and *Care Act Independent Advocacy. The Liberty Protection Safeguards (2019) are replacing the Deprivation of Liberty safeguards and are expected to be implemented from Summer 2020. The Provider shall undertake service development and transition with the Local Authority to ensure they can meet the requirements of the LPS. NOTE: The associated volumes and budget may need to adjust in line with these requirements, which shall be reviewed and varied at a point when legislation comes into effect. The Contracting Authority shall collaboratively work with the Provider with regards to any changes that are required to the service delivery and make appropriate variations to the service specification, budget and subsequently to the Contract via Legislative Change to ensure SA services are legally compliant. It is anticipated that the requirements and key differences are: *LPS is likely to apply to people from age 16 *There is a duty to appoint an IMCA unless there is an appropriate person to represent and support the person *IMCA will replace the RPR role *LPS shall apply anywhere and Local Authorities will no longer need to apply to the Court of Protection for people not in a care home or hospital. *Referral to advocacy is controlled by a Relevant Person (the Responsible Body or care home manager) *There is no provision for advocacy where there is no one to consult during the assessment process * demand may increase or decrease therefore the value, activity assumptions,service specification and the contract may be adjusted to reflect this. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. Contract value shown above includes any permissible contract extensions, at the discretion of the Council. Period of Work end date includes any permissible contract extensions, at the discretion of the Council. Contract value specified includes value any possible contract extensions, which can be exercised at the sole discretion of the Council. Period of Work End date includes any possible contract extensions, which can be exercised at the sole discretion of the Council.
