Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process for the "Advocacy and Independent Visitor Service 2025," targeting the health and social work services industry. Located in Bristol, this contract is aimed at supporting children in care, care leavers, and those subject to child protection conferences as well as recruiting independent visitors for children in care. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure and had a special "light touch" regime. The contract was awarded on 1st December 2025 and runs until 30th November 2028, with potential extensions up to August 2030.
