This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is set in London, United Kingdom. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 15 November 2019. Successful bidders will deliver services starting from 1 April 2020 until 31 March 2024, with a total contract value of £1,925,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advocacy services, particularly those capable of providing a combined approach to Independent Care Act Advocacy, Independent Mental Health Advocacy, Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy, and NHS Complaints Independent Advocacy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may particularly benefit from this procurement, as it seeks to streamline advocacy services, thus creating an attractive platform for qualified providers aiming to expand their footprint in the health and social service sectors. ## Notice There are a number of different services, providers and different contracts for Statutory Advocacy. These are Statutory Duties for the local authority to have provision for. Services are running until 31/03/2020 and new services need to be place from 01/04/2020. Like many areas we seek to have a combined Statutory Advocacy service. An advocate can appropriately carry out different Statutory roles for the same person. At the moment a different advocate is required for each specific function and this does not necessarily assist service users or referrers. The proposed service will combine: * Independent Care Act Advocacy * Independent Mental Health Advocacy (IMHA) * Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy (IMCA) * NHS Complaints Independent Advocacy Additional information: This procurement will be managed electronically via the RBG Proactis Procontract e-tendering Suite.
