    Suffolk County Council is exploring provider capabilities in relation to delivering an Appropriate Adults service young people and adults as specified in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. The Council intends for this service to be a primarily volunteer delivered offer where the provider delivers a core co-ordination, training, and recruitment offer. The Council expects to contract with such a provider who can demonstrate close partnership working, control of costs, and adaptable in relation to emerging lived-experience accounts and best practice. A questionnaire is provided for prospective providers to provide feedback on the commissioning priorities identified by the Council and identify the volume of interest in bidders for this contract. The Council may need to discuss responses in more detail with interested providers and therefore contract details are requested. It is expected any follow-up discussions will take place no later than Thursday 2nd April. Questionnaire link: https://forms.office.com/e/LDQSUVtXhZ -Questionnaire closes 5pm Monday 16th March 2026-
