## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by Middlesbrough Council involves a direct procurement method without competition for advocacy services, under the title "ASC111 - Spot Contract - Advocacy". The services fall under the industry category of "Other community, social and personal services" and are to be delivered in the region UKC12, United Kingdom. The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract being active from 29th December 2025 to 14th December 2027. The legal basis for this procurement process is grounded in the UKPGA 2023 legislation.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in community and social services, particularly those that are adept at providing independent advocacy.

Such opportunities are particularly beneficial for businesses looking to establish or reinforce their foothold in regional service delivery under sub-central government contracts.

## Notice
