Description

The City of Wolverhampton Council (the Council) invites bids from suitably experienced and qualified Providers to undertake ad hoc Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLs) assessments. This will be on an independent basis on behalf of the Supervisory Body (the Council). The assessments are carried out under the provisions of the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Legislation 2009 (Amendment to Mental Capacity Act 2005). The Provider must be able to commission Best Interest Assessors (BIAs) to undertake assessments of adults aged 18 years and above in care homes and hospitals. They must identify, challenge and where possible, re-dress discrimination and inequality in all its forms. The Provider must ensure that BIAs can respect individuals' qualities, abilities and diverse backgrounds and promote the rights, dignity and self-determination of individuals who might be deprived of their liberty. This is alongside being able to meet the time-scale of the contract and providing assessments which will withstand legal scrutiny. *****Please note, this tender opportunity is available at www.wolverhamptontenders.com*****
