## Summary

The London Borough of Lewisham has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Children and Young People's Advocacy Service." This contract, worth £250,000, was awarded through an open procedure under the services category, specifically focusing on welfare services for children and young people. The tender period concluded on 12 September 2019, with the contract period running from 10 October 2019 to 31 December 2021. The service will primarily cater to looked-after children and those eligible for leaving care services within the London area.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses aiming to expand in the social care sector, particularly organisations that specialise in advocacy and support services for children and young people. Companies with experience in delivering support for looked-after children, care leavers, and individuals subject to Child Protection Plans will find themselves well-positioned to compete for future similar contracts. Collaboration with local authorities like Lewisham can also enhance these businesses' visibility and credibility in the industry.

## Notice

The London Borough of Lewisham ("the Council") is seeking to commission an Advocacy Service to provide time-limited support, information and representation from independent advocates. This will support children and young people when decisions are made about their lives, or when they wish to raise a concern about a service they have received from the Council. The service will work mainly with Looked After Children, but also children that are eligible for a Leaving Care service and those who are subject to Child Protection Plans.
