The procurement aims to set up contractual arrangements for advocacy and mediation support for children and young people, extending beyond the Leeds metropolitan borough yet focusing mediation services within Leeds boundaries. The tender was published on 25 November 2024, and the deadline for submissions is 9 December 2024, with the contract period slated to commence on 17 December 2024 and conclude on 18 December 2024. The estimated contract value ranges from £300,000 to £1,420,000, and the procurement allows participation from SMEs and VCSEs. This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in child advocacy, social work, and mediation services to expand their operations and service offerings. Organisations that are experienced in delivering comprehensive advocacy and mediation services, particularly for vulnerable children and youth, will find this tender well-suited to their expertise. The feedback process invites potential contractors to provide their approach to service delivery, ensuring the procured services align with practical market capabilities and innovative practices, thereby supporting business growth and fostering long-term partnerships with Leeds City Council. ## Notice Leeds City Council is looking into a potential procurement option to put in place future contractual arrangements for suitably qualified and experienced organisations to deliver two core aspects of our Children's mediation and advocacy support services: a Children's Rights & Advocacy service, along with our Education, Health and Care (EHC) Mediation service. Some of the children and young people requiring rights and advocacy support may not reside within the metropolitan borough of Leeds; the mediation service is only provided within the Leeds boundary. This is our first time considering tendering these two services together. To support this future procurement, we would like to gain information from the market regarding their approaches to a number of delivery aspects related to the potential procurement exercise. You are therefore invited to consider the programme requirements detailed in this document and complete the attached questionnaire to give us your feedback on the proposed approach. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/794b2c08-d5d6-4fd9-9899-e92b1cf775fb | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | 9 Dec 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Dec 2024 - 18 Dec 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,420,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEEDS CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 1UR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 25 Nov 2024 at 16:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/794b2c08-d5d6-4fd9-9899-e92b1cf775fb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/794b2c08-d5d6-4fd9-9899-e92b1cf775fb 25th November 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=87955&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/104105 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.leeds.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
