## Summary

The Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner has conducted a successful procurement process for an Appropriate Adult Service aimed at safeguarding the interests of Vulnerable Adults in Police Custody within the Merseyside region. This service is crucial where parents or guardians cannot be present. The contract, awarded to The Appropriate Adult Service, has a total value of £86,300 and is set to commence on 1st April 2018, continuing until 31st March 2019. The procurement was completed using an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 25th January 2018.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the social services sector, particularly those with experience in providing support services for Vulnerable Adults. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, given the proven need for high-quality service delivery in this area. Participating in such contracts can lead to both expanded visibility and a strengthened reputation in the community service landscape.

## Notice

The Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) requires a high quality Appropriate Adult Service which safeguards the interests and welfare of Vulnerable Adults in Police Custody within Merseyside, where parents/carers, or the person with responsibility, are unable or unwilling to attend. The presence of an Appropriate Adult provides one of the essential checks and balances within the criminal justice process and ensures that the rights of Vulnerable Adults are protected
