## Summary

The London Borough of Islington initiated a tender for the project titled "1718-0172 An Appropriate Adult Service for Vulnerable Adults, Children and Young People". The procurement process, categorized under health and social work services, recently concluded with an awarded contract valued at £480,000. The contract period runs from 9 April 2018 to 8 April 2022. The tender, which was published on 9 May 2018, serves to provide essential support for vulnerable individuals detained in police custody, particularly in the London regions of Islington and Camden. The tendering process came to an end on 7 March 2018.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those focused on vulnerable populations such as children and individuals with mental health issues or learning disabilities. Enterprises with capabilities in providing support and advocacy in legal settings would be particularly well-suited to engage in future tenders of a similar nature. Additionally, organisations that can demonstrate experience in collaborating with local authorities and delivering community-based services may find avenues for business growth through forthcoming contracts in this area.

## Notice

The Appropriate Adult service is provided to those detained at police stations in the London Boroughs of Islington, and Camden as laid down in the Codes of practice (S.60 (1) (a) and S66) and the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE). The service assists and supports people with communication whilst in police custody to ensure they are afforded their entitlements, provisions and representation as necessary, whilst remaining neutral to any investigation. The service is to be provided for young people aged 10 to 16 inclusive, where a parent/carer or guardian is unable or unwilling to attend, and those aged 17 and over with mental health problems and/or learning disabilities, where a relative or carer is unavailable. An Appropriate Adult plays an important part in providing continuity of support to a child or young person in police detention, and contributes to the safe and humane administration of justice. The service shall be available seven days a week, from 8am to 12am (midnight), 365 days a year.
