UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Self Advocacy," was facilitated by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council, a sub-central government public authority in the UK. It is classified under the industry category of health and social work services, and focuses on a self-advocacy service for individuals with learning disabilities. This initiative aims to enable their active participation in shaping local health and council services via a robust advocacy network. The contract, awarded through a direct procurement method without competition—a light-touch regime as it fell below the threshold—was signed on 18th June 2025 and spans from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2027, with a total value of £160,680.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses operating within the health and social services sector, particularly those experienced in advocacy and support for people with disabilities. Given its emphasis on self-advocacy and community involvement, organisations with a proven track record in similar services—especially those adept at working with local councils and health boards—would be well-positioned to excel. This procurement not only offers financial growth prospects but also strengthens businesses' reputations as champions of inclusivity and empowerment in community services.
