Description

Worcestershire County Council ("the Council") is looking to appoint a provider to manage a backlog of Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) cases. The Council will appoint either a single organisation applying itself to provide the Service, a consortium with legal status or an organisation applying as the lead organisation for two or more organisations who wish to provide the service as a consortium without legal status.

Approximately 635 DoLS cases would have to be completed and submitted to the DoLS team within 46 to 52 weeks of the project commencing. In addition to this, there may be a requirement for the completion of up to an additional 40 cases per month throughout the time of the project until such time that the DoLS team has obtained staffing to complete these on an ongoing basis.
