The lotProcurement structure

The provision of Independent Professional Advocacy (IPA) is a legislative requirement under Part 10 of the Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act (SSWBA) 2014. This type of advocacy is provided in circumstances such as where a citizen’s access to care and support services is in question. Advocacy itself can be seen on a continuum and while IPA provision is specifically mandated, other types are to be encouraged, building on individual and community capacity.
We are seeking a single IPA service for West Wales to deliver:
- Single point of contact
- Direct IPA advocacy work – generic & specialist IPA provision
- Awareness and Promotion
- Collaboration and Sector Development
