## Summary

The North Lincolnshire Council is currently conducting a tender for "Independent Advocacy Services" within the social work and related services industry category. This procurement is at the active tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 12 August 2022. The contract is expected to commence on 1 November 2022 and conclude on 31 October 2025, with a projected total contract value of £513,000. Services will be primarily delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber region, and the procurement method is classified as an open procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advocacy, social work, guidance, and counselling services to expand their operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as the Council aims to consolidate its advocacy services through a single provider. Engaging in this process may enable organisations to enhance their service offerings and establish long-term relationships with the Council while contributing to the social care needs of the community.

## Notice

The Council is seeking a single provider to address all statutory independent advocacy and generic (non-statutory) requirements through a single service. This will provide a single route for advocacy provision for people with health and social care needs who require independent advocacy (statutory) and generic advocacy (non-statutory) services.
