## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process under the title "Appropriate Adult Service." This process falls within the industry category of social work and related services, and is intended for delivery in the UKF region, specifically at the Derbyshire Constabulary in Ripley. The current stage involves a Request for Information (RFI) to assess options before the current contract expires on 31 August 2026. Key dates include a milestone on 23 January 2026, with future procurement notices expected by 27 February 2026. The project is anticipated to start on 1 September 2026, extending potentially to 31 August 2031 with renewal options.

The tender offers a promising opportunity for growth to businesses involved in social work, health, guidance, and counselling services, particularly those operated by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses with expertise in providing appropriate adult services, or those capable of forming partnerships to deliver these services, would be well-suited to respond to this tender. As the process proceeds, engaging early can position interested parties ahead in the preparation for subsequent procurement activities.
