What is being bought

Surrey County Council is procuring an Appropriate Adult Service in accordance with its statutory duties under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) and the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (section 38(4)(a)). These statutory duties place an obligation on local authorities to ensure the provision of Appropriate Adults for children and vulnerable adults where a parent, guardian or other suitable adult is unavailable or deemed inappropriate. The purpose of the Appropriate Adult is to safeguard and promote the rights, entitlements and welfare of children and vulnerable adults who are detained and/or interviewed by the police. The Appropriate Adult is required to provide support, advice and assistance, enable the individual to understand and exercise their rights, and facilitate effective communication between the detainee and police officers. In addition, the Appropriate Adult must observe police procedures to ensure they are carried out fairly, lawfully and in accordance with relevant guidance, thereby reducing the risk of miscarriages of justice and ensuring individuals are treated in a humane and appropriate manner while in police custody. To achieve these objectives and ambitions, Surrey County Council (SCC) is seeking to appoint a provider to deliver the Surrey Appropriate Adult Volunteer Service (SAAVS). The Surrey Appropriate Adult Volunteer Service is being procured on a County wide basis, and bidders must ensure delivery of services across the full geographic area of Surrey.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health and social work services (85000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Indicative price outcome

£683,129 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £1,050,000.

This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.

    "description": "Surrey County Council is recommissioning a high quality Appropriate Adult Service to safeguard the rights and welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. The service will operate 24/7, 365 days a year, delivered by trained and qualified staff across multiple Surrey locations, including police custody suites, police stations, schools, council and community buildings, and other appropriate venues.\nThe service model requires providers to deliver timely, responsive, and needs led support across core functions.\n• Appropriate Adult provision for children, young people, and vulnerable adults detained, interviewed, or otherwise engaged in police processes, ensuring their welfare and rights are upheld and they can participate effectively.\n• Age assessment support, where required, to assist professionals in determining age related safeguarding responsibilities and ensuring individuals receive suitable care and intervention.\n• Advocacy services to promote the voice, views, and best interests of service users, ensuring they are signposted to relevant local support services and connected with wider early help, social care, and youth justice pathways.\nProviders must demonstrate strong knowledge of Surrey's local support landscape to ensure effective coordination, referral, and continuity of care.
