Description

Nottinghamshire County Council is seeking a suitably experienced single Provider to deliver services across Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire using a Framework Agreement.
The Framework Agreement will provide the mechanism for purchasing Services across Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City to support people to have their voice heard, feel empowered and involved and maintain their independence. These Services will support people to make choices and decisions about their daily lives and activities along with clear information about options, responsibilities and consequences which will enable them to make informed decisions. This will include Advocacy Services and Co-Production Services.
The Framework Agreement will replace an existing contract which is expiring and will be available for use by the following Commissioners:
· Nottinghamshire County Council
· Nottingham City Council
· NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board (ICB)
· Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust
· Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
· Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
· Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Bidders must have demonstrable experience of delivering services that are similar in scope and size to those described in this tender and are specifically required to have significant experience of delivering statutory advocacy services.

In addition to establishing the Framework Agreement the Council anticipates entering into contracts for an initial four call-off orders, three of which will replace similar current services:
1) Statutory Advocacy Services and the Advocacy Hub
2) Co-production Support Service
3) Relevant Persons Representative (RPR)
4) Learning Disability and Autism (LDA) Programme (formerly Transforming Care Programme) Advocacy Service
