## Summary

Bristol City Council is seeking suppliers for a range of advocacy services under the title "CSI/ASC/Advocacy Services," classified within the health and social work services industry. The tender process, which has now completed, involved an open procedure divided into two lots; however, both lots have since been cancelled. The original procurement process began on 22 June 2021, with submission deadlines set for 30 July 2021. Key delivery addresses are located within the UKK region, specifically Bristol, with the overarching contract valued at £983,840.
