This service is related to mental health and learning disabilities, specified in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, and covers the Leicestershire and Northamptonshire areas.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses that offer guidance and counselling services, particularly those with experience in dealing with vulnerable adult suspects. The procurement method used is an open procedure, with a tender period ending on October 23, 2023. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organizations are suitable to compete for this contracting opportunity in the East Midlands region, United Kingdom.

## Notice

The provision of this service is in response to requirements specified in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) 1984, whereby the custody sergeant at each police station or equivalent at other sites has the responsibility for deciding whether a detained person or voluntary attendee may be deemed to be mentally vulnerable (referred to as vulnerable adult suspects), due to the fact that the individual may have mental health problems or a learning disability. Where this is the case, the service provider will be contacted to supply a trained Appropriate Adult to attend and provide assistance in line with the requirements of PACE. The framework will cover Leicestershire and Northamptonshire Police Forces
