    2gether Support Solutions is looking to award a three year contract on behalf of the Contracting Authority for the provision of a tailored, including direct contact with staff, Independent and Confidential Freedom to Speak Up Guardian Service.<br/><br/>It is 2gether Support Solutions consideration that The Guardian Service Ltd. is the most suitable, and sole, provider of these services within the United Kingdom. <br/><br/>The service is to provide information and emotional support in a strictly confidential and non-judgemental manner. The one-to-one nature of the service is a fundamental foundation of the service, providing personal contact in contrast to an online, email or drop box approach. The service is focused on the individual, helping them to articulate their concern and decide what action they wish to take. The service does not offer advice, legal or otherwise. The purpose is to help the individual articulate their concerns, understand what options exist in resolving their concern and helping them reach their own decision as what to do. The service does not make recommendations but offers support as an independent facilitator principle where two parties to a concern wish to meet and where the reporting staff member seeks this support. This is not a mediation service, but an independent facilitation of the meeting. With the agreement of the staff member, the service provider should escalate the issue in line with agreed parameters, bringing the issue to the attention of the appropriate Executive or management team member.<br/><br/>If you think that your organisation is competent, suitably experienced and appropriately qualified to deliver such a service, then you may approach 2gether Support Solutions and express your interest in being considered. Your must submit information against a questionnaire (containing both basic selection and key criteria) against project reference C326841_Provision of an Independent Freedom to Speak Up Guardian Service within the e-Tendering portal.
