## Summary

The procurement process involves the NHS Shared Business Services, which is managing the contract for the Advocacy Worker Service within West London. This service, aimed at offering independent support and information to patients and carers of adults with learning disabilities, has been in place since April 2019. The current contract, valued at £38,000, has been modified to extend its term by an additional six months, increasing the total value by £19,000. The procurement method used was a direct approach, specifically a single tender action below threshold, with the contract period commencing on 1 April 2021 and concluding on 30 September 2021.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in advocacy and support services. Companies with experience in providing practical assistance and friendly advice to vulnerable populations, such as those with learning disabilities and their carers, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement could help these organisations enhance their service offerings and expand their reach in the community.

## Notice

The Carers Advocacy service offers patients and carers of adults with learning disabilities independent practical support, advice and information. It also supports parents/carers of young people from the transition age through to adulthood. Additional information: This is an existing service that has been in place since April 2019. The CCG has assessed that the service needs to continue whilst a review is completed and new commissioning plans are developed by the newly formed North West London CCG from April 2021. The existing contract is being modified through contract variation to extend its term by 6 months. The existing value of the contract of PS38,000 will increase by PS19,000 during this additional term.
