Tender description

Gateshead Council has recommissioned a contract to deliver advocacy services. The proposed contract will include the following statutory, non-statutory and general elements: - Care Act - IMCA - RPR - IMHA - NHS Complaints - Rule 1.2 Representative Advocacy - General Advocacy. Following consideration of the service requirements and the needs of people who access advocacy, it was decided that the advocacy contract be procured as a single contract rather than divided into lots. This approach is justified as many individuals require access to more than one type of advocacy during their journey (e.g., statutory advocacy, issue-based advocacy, and specialist advocacy). Delivering these through one provider enables cohesive support for individuals, including a consistent advocacy approach and smooth transitions between different advocacy types, ensuring timely and coordinated support. ## Contract award Title: Contract for Gateshead Advocacy Services
