This process is set in the health and social work services industry and will take place in Southend-on-Sea, England. A market engagement workshop is scheduled for 25th June 2018 from 2:00pm to 5:00pm at the Civic Centre, Committee Room 4. Stakeholders must register by 21st June 2018 to participate in shaping the future service model and specifications. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in health and social work services to expand their reach and influence within the sector. Companies specialising in advocacy, social care, or related fields are particularly well-suited to engage in this process, as the workshop aims to identify gaps and opportunities to improve service delivery. Participating businesses can gain insights into the specific needs of the council and potentially align their offerings with the upcoming procurement specifications. ## Notice Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is considering options for the future commissioning of adult advocacy services. As part of a wider engagement and consultation, we are inviting stakeholders to a market engagement workshop to shape and inform the service model and service specification for the provision of this service. Date Monday 25th June 2018 Time 2:00pm - 5pm Venue Civic Centre, Committee Room 4 Space will be limited with allocation to 2 people per organisation; bookings can be made up until 21st June 2018 through Eventbrite: We will be holding a workshop to engage with internal and external stakeholders on the Advocacy services in Southend. The main aims of the workshop are: * To map existing adult advocacy provision across Southend and how it is used * Look at what is working well in Advocacy * Explore gaps and opportunities to improve or develop the service * For our Procurement team to present the process and proposed timeline for an Advocacy tender. The outputs from the workshop will help us to refine our proposed service specification and help with signposting or referrals between existing providers to the most appropriate service for an individual's needs.
