## Summary

The Norfolk County Council has awarded a contract for Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) Catch-up Assessments to Care2Assess Limited. The procurement involves providing assessments to support a reduction in backlog referrals for adults aged 18 and above in care homes within Norfolk. The contract period runs from April 1, 2023, to September 30, 2023. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the tender period ended on February 3, 2023. The main procurement category is services relating to social work and welfare services not delivered through residential institutions.

This tender opportunity provides a chance for businesses specializing in social work and healthcare services to contribute to supporting vulnerable populations. Companies with experience in providing Best Interests Assessors and Section 12 Doctors for adult care settings would be well-suited to compete for this contract. As the contract aims to address a specific backlog issue, businesses that can efficiently provide the required assessments to help clear this backlog within the stipulated contract period are likely to find this opportunity particularly beneficial for their growth and service expansion.
