## Summary

The London Borough of Wandsworth has completed the procurement process for the provision of statutory and non-statutory advocacy services across Wandsworth. This tender process, conducted via direct award, was initiated to ensure the continued delivery of critical support services for vulnerable adults under legal obligations, including mental health and capacity advocacy. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically in health and social work services. The contract, valued at £802,075, was awarded to Rethink Mental Illness Ltd, with the service contract running from 25th June 2026 to 31st May 2028. The process, classified as a "light touch" regime, was tailored to deal with urgent needs efficiently while a longer-term procurement is planned.

This tender offers significant business growth potential, primarily for large organisations with a background in health and social work services, given the specialised nature of the services required. Companies specialising in social advocacy and those with capabilities to support vulnerable adult populations are particularly well-suited to compete in similar tenders. With such processes often prompting further opportunities, businesses in this field should remain informed of long-term procurements stemming from this initial direct award.
