The total value of the contract is approximately £2,054,165, covering health and social work services across various regions in Wales, including Anglesey, Gwynedd, Denbighshire, and Conwy, among others. Interested parties are invited to submit comments regarding the amended lotting structure by 5pm on 30th April 2021, with further communication expected on 7th May 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in advocacy services. Companies that focus on mental health services or have expertise in providing tailored advocacy support will find this opportunity particularly relevant. The restructuring of the lotting approach into regional areas opens the field for both larger organisations and smaller, local providers to engage in competitive bidding, potentially leading to long-term contracts that could enhance their market presence and service offerings. ## Notice This is not a call for competition but a notice to all potential providers of the Independent Mental Health Advocacy Service (IMHA), that there is a proposed change to the initial lotting structure that was issued within the Welsh Language Pin Notice issued on the 23rd October 2020 (REF:96662) ### Lot Information Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board - West Area - Anglesey & Gwynedd Independent Mental Health Advocacy (IMHA) services for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board The Betsi lotting structure has now been split into the three regional areas (East, West and Central), as opposed to one national lot for Betsi.
