Requirements for Age Assessments are only relevant for Hampshire County Council. In the last 12 months the Council has had 80 age assessments where an appropriate adult was required.\nTo support interested suppliers the Authorities are sharing the volumes from 2023/2024 to act as a guide to the indicative levels of demand for this service. This is an indicative figure and the Authorities offer no guarantee around any levels of work. The successful supplier will meet the demand inline with the requirements of the specification\n2023/2024\n1. Total Usage 10,350 hours of which\n2. Vulnerable Adults\n• Portsmouth City Council - 1,616 hours\n• Police and Crime Commissioner (covering Southampton, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight) 6,268 hours (this has since increased by approximately 400 hours a year)\n1.

This reorganisation is part of a broader devolution strategy to simplify local government structures, save public funds, and improve local accountability. It is anticipated, that during the life of this contract, the LGR process will progress potentially impacting this contract. Impacts most likely will include novations of the legal entities you may contract with. There are assignment clauses within the Contract Terms and Conditions that allow us to assign, novate etc. the agreements to another body. ",
