## Summary

Lancashire County Council is planning a tender for Advocacy Services in Lancashire, with the intention of recommissioning these services. This initiative falls under the health and social work services category, and the proposed delivery locations are within the UKD4 region. Key dates include the virtual provider engagement event that will follow the analysis of responses to a market engagement questionnaire, with the aim to conclude this preparatory phase by 1st October 2021.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses operating in the health and social services sector, particularly those skilled in advocacy services. Companies specialising in providing health consultancy, support services, or community outreach would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with the preliminary questionnaire offers a chance to influence the procurement process and align offerings with the buyer's needs, paving the way for potential contracts and business growth.

## Notice

Lancashire County Council is in the process of undertaking an exercise to recommission Advocacy Services in Lancashire. Prior to the commencement of a procurement, we wish to engage with key stakeholders to gather information and share procurement proposals via an online questionnaire. For further information please see the questionnaire here: https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/business/tenders-and-procurement/tenders/market-engagement-questionnaire-for-the-provision-of-advocacy-services-in-lancashire/ We would welcome a response from your organisation. All responses received as part of this provider engagement will be considered as we finalise our approach to recommissioning the service. Once we have received and analysed responses to this questionnaire, we plan to hold a virtual event with providers to explore providers' views in more detail. It is our intention that a procurement process will follow the provider engagement. Please ensure your organisation is registered on our iSupplier portal on the Lancashire County Council website, and check the iSupplier portal page regularly for updates. The Authority reserves the right to amend what is set out in the engagement. Any procurement process that may be conducted will only be in accordance with the procurement documents that are published.
