## Summary

North Lincolnshire Council has initiated a tender process for the provision of the "Talking Lincs Advocacy Service." This procurement falls under the health and social work services category, with additional considerations for community, social, and personal services, and is located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with an open procedure format below the threshold. Interested parties must submit their tenders by 25 July 2025, with the contract expected to start on 1 October 2025 and end on 30 September 2027.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), given the focus on empowering and advocacy services for vulnerable populations. Organisations specialising in health, social services, or those with expertise in supporting individuals with learning disabilities or mental health challenges would be well-suited to compete. The project’s aim to influence service development through direct engagement with those who have lived experiences highlights a lucrative opportunity for businesses dedicated to impactful community service delivery.

## Notice

The Talking Lincs Self Advocacy Service will empower adults with learning disabilities, learning difficulties, autistic people and the neurodivergent community, those living with mental ill health and carers to speak up for themselves and their peers with the aim of improving the lives and services offered to people within North Lincolnshire. To achieve this, we need to be able to hear the voice of people with lived experience and understand from them the issues they face in their daily lives. This approach will support and influence the development of services across the council and partner organisations.
