The Commissioners will award one contract with one Service Provider.

The Commissioners wish to appoint a Service Provider suitably experienced in leading and developing advocacy provision with an excellent track record of providing the relevant statutory and non-statutory advocacy services. Service Providers will need to demonstrate how the model will be implemented and work in practice and particularly how the Service Provider will manage its supply chain, if any, to ensure compliance with the contract requirements in terms of quality. The Service Provider will need to demonstrate their understanding of the unique and diverse make-up each local authority area and how they will ensure that their proposed service will be accessible, engaging and reflect need and also demonstrate impact of the Services.
