## Summary

The Devon County Council, along with Torbay and South Devon NHS Trust, is planning a procurement process titled "CP2296-22 Social Care Advocacy for Adults and Children's Services" in the health and social work services category. The contract extension aims to support the Liberty Protection Safeguards program from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024. Market engagement activities with providers will follow once national guidance is clarified.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses offering community, social, and personal services. Companies specialising in advocacy and social care services can compete for this planned contract. The procurement stage is currently at the planning phase, with the future notice date set for 17th October 2022. Interested parties should pay attention to updates on the implementation of the Liberty Protection Safeguards program for potential bidding.

## Notice

Due to the ongoing uncertainty of the Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) implementation date and guidance has still to be finalised nationally, Devon County Council, Devon Integrated Care Board (formerly the CCG) and Torbay Council/Torbay & South Devon NHS Trust (the Commissioners) are extending the current contract for Advocacy Services for Adult and Children's social care for an additional year with the current provider. This will be effective from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 to enable planning and management of the Liberty Protection Safeguards programme. This is due to reasons outside of the Commissioners' control and therefore difficult to future-proof a contract with such uncertainties. Planning and management of the Liberty Protection Safeguards programme is expected to take place during the 2023-24 financial year but as there is currently no agreed implementation date the Authority will undertake market engagement activities with interested providers within the upcoming months once clear national guidance has been published.
