This public procurement process was conducted by Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council for the provision of advocacy services within the health and social care sector. The tender, titled "The Provision of Advocacy Services for Health and Social Care," falls under the main procurement category of services and specifically targets health and social work services. Located in the region of UKD73, the procurement process reached the award stage on 19th September 2025.

This procurement utilised a limited procedure under a direct award call-off agreement, aligning with the NOE CPC Framework Agreement ref.
