Options: The original contract terms if for 36-months with 2 x 12-month options to extend
Independent Visitor ServicesProvision of Independent Visitor Services. The Participating Authorities have discussed the risks and benefits of appointing the same Provider to deliver services under both Lots I and 2. For the following reasons they have decided that they will be appointing different Providers to each Lot: 1) the cohort of Children / Young People eligible to access these services is different, 2) referrals routes for these services are different, 3) they feel that there is the potential for confusion of boundaries for the roles and responsibilities between advocates and independent visitors; these roles carry out two distinct functions, and 4) we feel that by appointing different Providers to deliver services under Lots 1 and 2 will encourage applications to a wider group of Providers, including smaller Providers who may only be able to provide Services under one of these Lots.
