## Description
The Authority is commissioning a Statutory Advocacy Service for the provision of a range of statutory advocacy services.
The Supplier will deliver a Service that reflects the key principles of:
• making use of digital.
• recognising the benefits of strength-based and asset-based approaches to improving health and wellbeing, promoting independence and building community capacity.
• targeting and supporting those with greatest need.
• encouraging Individuals to build their skills and confidence to self-advocate
• adopt lean and flexible working practices in order to maximise service reach
• demonstrate continual learning and share best practice through local partnerships and forums.
The total estimated value (without VAT) for the contract period including extension period is £1,977,453. A tender submission received that exceeds the Maximum Total Annual Budget of £659,151 for either year 1,2 or 3 and the Contract value of £1,977,453 will be REJECTED.
The service to be procured as a competitive tender using the open procedure is classed as a Light Touch Contract under the Procurement Act 2023.
The Authority will be holding a supplier "bidders day" on Wednesday 27 August 2025 at 10.30am - 12.00 noon, this will be a Microsoft Teams event held to give suppliers an opportunity to ask Procurement and/or the Commissioning area questions in relation to the procurement process
Suppliers are requested to have familiarised themselves with the Tender Documents prior to this event to avoid duplicating questions raised previously and already answered. Where a supplier is unable to attend, information will be shared via an e-tendering Proactis post, shortly after the event. This will include any questions asked and their respective answers.
For avoidance of doubt suppliers will still be able to submit pre-tender clarifications after the event in line with the process outlined in the IA3595 ITT Procurement Pack.
