This procurement, currently in the tender stage, invites submissions by 12:00 on 10 January 2025. Key dates include the end of the supplier clarification period at 17:00 on 18 December 2024. The project encompasses services such as IMCA, DoLS Paid Representatives, and coordinated advocacy services, with an estimated contract value of £5,320,000 over an initial period of approximately five years.
