This procurement is valued at approximately £1.5 million over a potential duration of three plus one years. Key engagement meetings are scheduled for 25 June 2015 and 15 July 2015 at the One Stop Shop, Dolcoath in Camborne (TR14 8XS) to assist the design of these services. The engagement phase will conclude on 23 February 2018, allowing suppliers ample time for participation. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advocacy services, particularly for those equipped to deliver services in Health and Social Care. Companies that can provide training and qualifications, such as the Level 3 City and Guilds Qualification for advocacy staff, may find this a competitive advantage. Participation in the early engagement events will not only help vendors align their offerings with the Council's needs but also ensure they are well-prepared for future procurement rounds directed by Cornwall Council. ## Notice CORNWALL COUNCIL - INDEPENDENT ADVOCACY.
