## Summary

The East Sussex County Council, through SE Shared Services, has completed the award of a contract for Adult Advocacy Services, titled "ESCC JC Adult Advocacy Services in East Sussex", with a total value of £1,584,000. This service will run from October 1, 2019, to March 31, 2023, with a potential extension for up to 24 months. The procurement process was carried out via an open procedure, and the awarded contract was announced on October 17, 2019. The services are aimed at supporting adults under statutory advocacy requirements within the health and social work sector, specifically focusing on Independent Mental Health Advocacy and Care Act Advocacy.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in providing health and social work services, especially those that specialise in advocacy. Companies with the ability to deliver comprehensive advocacy support, including Independent Advocacy services, would find this contract particularly relevant. The engagement of service providers capable of demonstrating competence in meeting statutory advocacy requirements could lead to further collaborations in the sector as well, especially in the South East region of the United Kingdom.
