## Summary

Blackpool Council has recently completed the procurement process for the "Blackpool Advocacy Hub 2022", aimed at consolidating Advocacy services under a single contract to promote a coordinated approach for eligible individuals with health and social care needs within Blackpool. This procurement falls under the category of health and social work services, with a total contract value of £3,030,000. The tender was published on 4th February 2022, with the tender period ending on 7th March 2022, and the contract commenced on 1st July 2022, running until 30th June 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health and social services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that specialise in advocacy services, particularly those serving vulnerable groups such as adults with learning difficulties, mental health issues, and children, would be particularly well-positioned to engage in future similar contracts and expand their service delivery in Blackpool.

## Notice

Blackpool Council seeks to appoint one provider of Advocacy services under a single contract which will cover all Advocacy provision in Blackpool. This will bring Advocacy services for adults and children together under a single contract to create a "Single Point of Access" to Advocacy Services through the "Blackpool Advocacy Hub". The aim is for a coordinated and joined up Advocacy Service to deliver all Independent Advocacy for eligible adults, children and young people with health and social care needs (comprising adults with learning difficulties, mental health problems, physical and sensory, autistic spectrum conditions and older people, looked after children) living in Blackpool.
