## Summary

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets is currently in the planning phase of procuring its Integrated Statutory Advocacy Service, titled "HAC6124 Integrated Statutory Advocacy Service." This procurement seeks to combine the borough's local advocacy service and an out-of-borough service into a unified contract aimed at ensuring residents receive comprehensive statutory advocacy support. The industry category for this tender is health and social work services, with a total estimated value of £826,952. A market engagement session is scheduled for 9th December 2025, via MS Teams, to facilitate supplier dialogue and registration. The tender is planned to commence on 1st July 2026 and run through 30th June 2029, with the option for extension until June 2030.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in advocacy services, particularly those with capabilities in health and social care. Enterprises that can deliver person-centred, high-quality advocacy for individuals with substantial difficulty participating in care planning, or those requiring NHS complaints advocacy, should consider participating. The procurement is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), thereby widening the potential supplier base and encouraging competitive bids. This contract not only consolidates existing services but also aims to expand advocacy support on a national scale, making it an attractive proposition for businesses with a footprint beyond Tower Hamlets.

## Notice

Tower Hamlets Council proposes to procure a high-quality, person-centred Integrated Statutory Advocacy Service to ensure that residents eligible under national legislation receive timely, independent, and effective advocacy. This procurement will bring together the following two separate advocacy contracts into a single contracting approach: 1. The Integrated Statutory Advocacy Service (ISAS), which supports Tower Hamlets residents in the borough and across the Northeast London (NEL) footprint with a range of statutory advocacy support, including Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy (IMCA), Responsible Pair Persons Representative (RPPR), NHS Complaints Advocacy, and Care Act Advocacy (CAA). 2. The Out-of-Borough Statutory Advocacy Service, which ensures eligible Tower Hamlets residents temporarily placed outside of NEL boroughs receive independent statutory advocacy. This includes RPPR and CAA functions only. The intention is to effectively merge these two contracts and go out to the market for a nationwide Integrated Statutory Advocacy Service. It will ensure that individuals: * Are supported to understand and exercise their rights * Can participate fully in decision-making about their care and support * Have their voices heard where capacity is limited or fluctuating * Receive consistent, high-quality advocacy regardless of where they live The scope of this procurement covers: * Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy (IMCA) including DoLS and Relevant Person's Paid Representative (RPPR) functions * Care Act Advocacy (CAA) for people with substantial difficulty participating in care planning or safeguarding * NHS Complaints Advocacy
