## Summary

The procurement process for the "Lincolnshire Independent Advocacy Services" is currently in the planning stage. Initiated by Lincolnshire County Council, a public authority within the sub-central government sector, this tender is set to provide independent advocacy services across Lincolnshire for both adults and children. The industry falls under health and social work services, identified by the CPV code 85000000. Services are expected to commence on 1st July 2026 and run until 30th June 2031. An estimated value of £4,486,970 GBP has been earmarked for this services category, which operates under a light touch regime. A future notice is anticipated to be published by 1st December 2025.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the health and social services sector, especially those with experience in advocacy services. Organisations such as SMEs and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) are particularly well-suited to compete, given their often specialised knowledge and flexible structures, which are advantageous for light touch contracts. Successful bidders can substantially expand their client base within Lincolnshire's public sector, reinforcing their market presence and contributing to community service enhancement.
