This service is essential for providing support to children and young people aged 10 to 17, as well as vulnerable adults aged 18 and over, particularly those with mental health needs or learning disabilities, who are under arrest. The tender method utilised is an open procedure, with the tender period having ended on 29th December 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2022, running through to 31st March 2027, with a total contract value of £260,000, awarded to Appropriate Adults UK on 28th February 2022. The procurement falls under the category of social work and related services and takes place in Bromley, United Kingdom. This ongoing contract presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in social work services, mental health care, or support for vulnerable individuals. Companies that have experience in providing safeguarding services and who can ensure continuous availability of support, 24/7, would be ideally positioned to engage with future related contracts. Prospective suppliers should also be adept at collaborating with local authorities to effectively meet service specifications, thus enhancing their chance for growth within this vital sector. ## Notice The London Borough of Bromley seeks to commission a single provider to deliver an efficient and responsive Appropriate Adult Service, as defined by the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (1984) and its Codes of Practice for Children & Young People (CYP), aged 10 to 17 inclusive, and vulnerable adults aged 18 years and over - where a parent, guardian, carer and or support worker (as appropriate) is unable or unwilling to attend and the vulnerable person has mental health needs or learning disabilities and who are under arrest within the borough of Bromley, or neighbouring boroughs should no custody suite be available. An Appropriate Adult is responsible for protecting (or 'safeguarding') the rights and welfare of a CYP or vulnerable adult who is detained by police, is interviewed under caution voluntarily or undergoing an age assessment. The service is required to be available, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for every day of the year. The service provider will have in place arrangements to ensure the continuity of the service to include all planned and unplanned absences. The Council is seeking to procure experienced service providers who understand the specialism of this type of service, have the knowledge and skills to deliver a quality service in accordance with the specifications by working in partnership with the Council.
