This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is being conducted through an open procedure as per the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Key activities include a Tender Information Session scheduled for 22nd January 2019, with the tender period closing on 11th February 2019. The contract is expected to commence on 1st July 2019 and will run until 30th June 2024, with an estimated value of £180,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to engage in the delivery of social care services.

The service will facilitate the participation of users in the commissioning processes that support the design, and review of local adult social care services. An important focus for this work will be user participation in local Partnership Boards: the Leicester Learning Disability Partnership Board, the Leicester Mental Health Partnership Board, and the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Autism Board. The Service will also facilitate participation across the full range of adult social care service user groups. Leicester City Council will be holding a Tender information Session on 22nd January 2019. Full details of the event and booking form can be found in the Invitation to Tender (ITT) documents.
