## Summary

The North East Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group (NELCCG) is seeking vendors for an Independent Advocacy Service under an open procurement method. This contract is classified under the health and social work services sector and will run from 1st October 2021 to 30th September 2024, with an option for a two-year extension depending on contract performance and funding availability. Interested suppliers must submit completed tenders by 12 noon on 11th June 2021 to be considered for the contract, which has an estimated value of £702,033.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social work and advocacy services to grow and expand their operations within the North East Lincolnshire area. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in providing health and social support services, particularly those familiar with the principles of advocacy and staff transfer under TUPE regulations, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract.

## Notice

The North East Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group (NELCCG) wishes to continue and evolve the provision for Independent Advocacy Services in the borough of North East Lincolnshire. The Contract will be initially set from 1st October 2021 till 30th September 2024 with the possibility of extending the term beyond the initial contracted duration by up to 2 [two] years with mutual agreement from the Provider and NELCCG. This would be dependent on successful achievement of contract outcomes and funding available to support the contract from commissioners. It is likely TUPE will apply to the transfer of staff undertaking the current service provision; however, it will be the responsibility of bidders to seek appropriate legal advice at the appropriate time. Interested parties wishing to participate in the Procurement should register and download a tender pack on NELCCG e-procurement system https://eprocurement.northeastlincolnshireccg.nhs.uk/ and submit an application using the supplied documentation.
