Summary of the contracting process

The Norfolk County Council is conducting a tender for "Information Advice and Advocacy Services", primarily within the health and social work services sector. This procurement process has been initiated under an open procedure and involves three distinct lots: Social Welfare Information, Advice & Representation, Community Advocacy, and Specialist Support. The tender was launched on 4th October 2021, with a deadline for submissions set for 15th November 2021. Successful bidders could expect an initial contract term of 36 months, with the potential for two 36-month extensions, contingent on satisfactory performance and available funding.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social care field, particularly those specialising in information, advice, and advocacy. Given the focus on enhancing the independence and well-being of service users, companies with experience in delivering services to vulnerable populations or with a robust understanding of social welfare can greatly benefit. Organisations such as community advocacy groups and social service providers would be well-positioned to compete for this contract, as it aims to appoint service providers capable of delivering a remodelled service offer in the Norfolk area.
