## Summary

The North Tyneside Council has awarded a contract for the Court of Protection Family Research 2023 project to Finders Genealogists Ltd. The procurement process, which started as a tender, aimed to engage a genealogist research company to identify beneficiaries to deceased services users lacking financial capacity. The contract value is £60,000 in GBP, with a contract period from 1st March 2023 to 31st January 2025. The procurement method was an open procedure with a tender end date of 9th December 2022, located in England. The main procurement category falls under research and development services and related consultancy services.

This tender provides opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations interested in genealogist research services. Businesses well-suited to compete include companies specialised in research and development services, particularly those with experience in genealogy and beneficiary identification. North Tyneside Council, as the buying organisation, conducted the tender process with a focus on awarding the contract to a suitable supplier to fulfil the requirements of their Court of Protection obligations.

## Notice

The Court of Protection (COP) team currently undertakes a number of functions in relation to those deceased services users who lack capacity to manage their own finances, or who have died in the community with no known relatives to support. These people are likely either to be where the Council has acted as Appointee for benefits or Deputy for those who have capital assets. It is the intention of NTC to engage with a genealogist research company to provide information of any known beneficiaries to these estates.
