## Summary

Leicestershire County Council is currently conducting a tender for the "ASCLCC001 Mental Capacity Assessments" valued at £250,000. This procurement falls under the social work and related services category and is located in the East Midlands, England. The procurement stage is in the open procedure phase, with the tender period closing on 2nd February 2018. The contract is expected to start on 12th March 2018 and conclude by 11th September 2018. The buying organisation aims to assess the mental capacity of approximately 500 service users who currently require assistance managing their finances.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social care and mental health services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that are well-equipped to provide these assessments. Companies that have experience in handling sensitive cases and possess the necessary expertise in mental capacity evaluations would be ideally suited to compete for this contract, ultimately contributing to the support of vulnerable individuals within the community.

## Notice

Leicestershire County Council is handling the finances of service users who lack the mental capacity to handle their own finances and who have nobody else who can help. The Authority acts on behalf of a number of service users who have either not had their mental capacity assessed or had it assessed a significant length of time ago. All of these service users need to have an assessment of their mental capacity to ascertain their ability to be able to handle their own finances. There are roughly 500 service users who need to be assessed and the majority of these live in Leicestershire. At the moment we are handling their finances under appointeeship but it is our intention to seek Court of Protection deputyship whenever appropriate. We will indicate those cases where we think it will be appropriate to seek deputyship if the service user lacks capacity. The mental capacity assessments will be used in the deputyship application process.
