The tender is currently in the planning stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 1st November 2019. This long-term contract, estimated at £13.5 million over 7 to 10 years, will centralise existing services into a single contractual agreement and will use the Competitive Dialogue method under the Light Touch Regime. The project aims to improve service efficiency and responsiveness through co-production with local providers and citizens. This tender offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) with experience in delivering community health and advocacy services. Companies adept at transforming service delivery models or those with innovative approaches to community care would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The annual value of approximately £1.35 million provides a strong incentive for organisations to invest in long-term service planning and collaboration with Dudley MBC. ## Notice This is an opportunity for creative forward thinking and innovative organisations to work collaboratively and in partnership with Dudley MBC to meet the: Information, Advice and Advocacy needs of Citizens within Dudley.

This tender is setting out a challenge to voluntary sector organisations to transform the way information advice and advocacy is organised and delivered. Activity to meet outcomes and increasing needs of the population will need to be streamlined, ensuring the most appropriate, efficient and effective delivery and pathways are utilised.
