The procurement process for the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards - Paid Person Representative framework has been completed, with the award dated 17 December 2025. Initiated by Leicestershire County Council, this procedure was conducted under an open method, targeting the Health and Social Work Services category, and covering the UKF2 region within the United Kingdom. The framework agreement, managed without a reopening of competition and characterised by a light-touch regime, started on 1 October 2025 and is set to conclude on 30 September 2029. This tender, valued at £2,200,000, was conducted on behalf of both Leicestershire County Council and Rutland County Council to appoint suitable providers within the specified framework.

The awarded suppliers, including large organisations like BEACON CARE AND ADVICE COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY and MOSAIC 1898 LTD, along with SMEs such as CASSA-ASSURA LTD and LIBERTY HSC LIMITED, signal a competitive environment favouring both large-scale and smaller enterprises. The nature of the framework encourages diverse business participation, making it a viable option for VCSEs and SMEs interested in expanding their presence in government contracts.
