The tender is set to close on 13th July 2018, with a contract period starting from 1st September 2018 and lasting until 31st August 2023. This is an open tender, enabling various suppliers to participate in the bidding process for a total contract value of £200,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social work, health services, or related sectors to expand their operations within the public sector. The involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations is particularly encouraged, making this tender suitable for businesses that can provide expertise in safeguarding and support services for vulnerable individuals, especially those with mental health challenges, learning disabilities, or underage status.

## Notice

The provision of Appropriate Adults service aims to ensure safeguards are in place for children under 18 years old and also for people aged over the age of 17 years with mental ill health, learning disabilities and/or autistic spectrum disorders who are arrested and taken into custody. Under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) Codes of Practice, Police Custody Sergeants must secure an Appropriate Adult (AA) to safeguard the rights and welfare of children/ young people and vulnerable adults detained or questioned by the police. The Appropriate Adult will attend the police custody suite and check that the child/young person or vulnerable adult's welfare has been safeguarded whilst in the cells and will ensure that the interview is conducted appropriately according to PACE guidelines. The role of the Appropriate Adult (AA) is to make sure that the individual's rights are respected and that they understand the procedures.
