This procurement, classified under health and social work services, is currently in the tender stage and is set to close on 21st January 2019. The contract will begin on 15th February 2019 and run for one year until 14th February 2020. This opportunity also follows an open procurement method, allowing wider participation from interested providers. This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in providing mental health support specifically tailored for deaf individuals. Firms that are registered on the Crown Commercial Service e-Sourcing Suite and have experience working with disability services would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The invitation to respond encourages a diverse array of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to participate, ultimately promoting inclusivity and equity in service provision. ## Notice The Inquiry recognises that the current processes for; raising awareness, answering questions, making bookings and delivering the Truth Project, are not inclusive of deaf people. It seeks through this procurement to provide equality of access to Deaf participants who: Use British Sign Langauge (BSL). Identify as deaf and do not use BSL but would find our existing routes and communications difficult to navigate. This is part of a wider approach that will seek to meet the needs of all deaf people in participating in the Truth Project. For the purposes of this project, the Inquiry is keen to work with organisations providing specialist mental health support to deaf people.
