This procurement process, classified under health and social work services, is based in Birmingham, West Midlands (B4 7WB). The contract period is set to commence on 1st April 2019 and will last until 31st March 2021, with an option to extend for an additional two years based on performance. The deadline for submitting tender documentation was 20th November 2018, and the procurement method employed is an open procedure. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social and health services, particularly those focused on advocacy, community support, and related sectors. Companies that deliver non-statutory advocacy services and those experienced in statutory functions, including Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy and Mental Health Advocacy, would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging with this framework could lead to enhanced service provision to a wider demographic in Birmingham, thereby allowing for business expansion and the development of valuable community relationships. ## Notice Birmingham City Council wishes to establish Framework Agreement to provide a Single Advocacy Service (Adults). This service covers a number of statutory advocacy functions including Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Relevant Person's Representatives, Independent Mental Health Advocacy and Independent Care and Support Advocacy. Additionally we are seeking to provide a non-statutory advocacy service to extend the provision of representative advocacy in the City to other citizens who could benefit from it, and to offer people a greater range of advocacy services than those included as statutory functions. The Framework Agreement will last for 2 years with the option to extend for up to a further 2 years subject to satisfactory performance. Registration and use of in-tend is free.
