## Summary

Shropshire Council is currently in the tender stage of a procurement process titled "PMCV 010 - Healthwatch and Independent NHS Complaints Advocacy." This initiative falls under the health and social work services category, with an estimated budget of £162,000 per annum. The tender period is open until 13th December 2017, and the services will be delivered within the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. Potential bidders are invited to submit proposals for an integrated service that includes both Healthwatch and Independent NHS Complaints Advocacy (IHCAS), with opportunities for sub-contracting.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those with experience in advocacy and community engagement. Organisations that can demonstrate innovative approaches to achieving efficiencies between Healthwatch and IHCAS will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSE) are encouraged to participate, given the emphasis on integrated service provision and the potential for collaboration within the procurement process.

## Notice

Shropshire Council wishes to commission a local Healthwatch and a local Independent NHS Complaints Advocacy Service (IHCAS). Healthwatch and IHCAS will be offered as an integrated service. Bidders may submit a tender which proposes a sub-contracting arrangement for IHCAS. Shropshire Council is looking for proposals which recognise the benefits of an integrated Healthwatch and IHCAS or close operational links between Healthwatch and IHCAS which make the most efficient use of resources. Total maximum funding available for Healthwatch and IHCAS will be PS162,000 per annum. Bidders should indicate how the total funding is allocated to each element of the integrated service or how much they propose to allocate to IHCAS in the event of a sub-contracting arrangement.
