This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is set within the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The open procurement method will allow interested parties to submit their proposals until the end of the tender period on 17 April 2018. The contract for the successful bidder is expected to commence on 2 July 2018 and last for a duration of three years. This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations focused on health and social services, particularly those with experience in advocacy and accessible communication. Businesses that specialise in providing inclusive services for individuals with learning disabilities, as well as those adept in creating Easy Read materials, would be well-positioned to compete. The contract also allows for potential sub-contracting and consortium arrangements, suggesting that smaller specialised firms could collaborate to deliver the necessary services effectively. ## Notice This Tender covers 2 separate services as described below. The Council intends to appoint a single provider to deliver these services. For details of possible sub-contracting and consortium arrangements refer to the Tender Guidance document. 1. Giving People with Learning Disabilities a Voice in Worcestershire: The purpose of this service is to provide an integrated approach to the various elements currently in place to ensure that people with a Learning Disability have a voice through self-advocacy, being members of the Learning Disability Partnership Board and the People's Parliament. In order for this to be successful the service provider will need to ensure that people with a Learning Disability and providers in this field are made aware of the services. The appointed provider will need to demonstrate effective partnership working and networking throughout Worcestershire for the benefit of all people with a Learning Disability. 2. Easy Read Translation Service: The purpose of the service is to make a range of information produced by the Council more accessible, for example to people with learning disabilities, by translating documents in to an Easy Read format using appropriate words and pictures. The format used must be reliable, robust and consistently applied across the County. Full details of the requirements of both services are set out in the Service Specification (Appendix 1 to this Tender).
