## Summary

The Isle of Wight Council is conducting a market engagement exercise for the provision of Independent Mental Capacity Advocates (IMCA), Independent Mental Health Advocates (IMHA), and Care Act Advocacy services for vulnerable adults. The engagement is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone set for the engagement end date on 22nd November 2019. This initiative falls under the health and social work services industry category, and the geographical focus is on the Isle of Wight, located in the South East of the United Kingdom. The engagement aims to gather interest from potential service providers and inform the subsequent procurement strategy.

The engagement phase allows interested suppliers to influence the procurement process and contribute ideas that enhance service sustainability and effectiveness.
