Details

North East Lincolnshire Council are undertaking a Procurement to award a contract for the provision of an Independent Adult Advocacy Service in North East Lincolnshire. The Service encompasses statutory advocacy under the Mental Health Act (IMHA), Mental Capacity Act (IMCA), Care Act advocacy, and non-statutory advocacy, aiming to support adults with health and social care needs in the region. The service is intended to be person-centred, accessible, and responsive, ensuring individuals' rights and voices are upheld across health, social care, and related systems. The Authority has only recently assumed responsibility for this procurement and, due to the timing of the transition, has not had sufficient opportunity to undertake preliminary market engagement

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this healthcare & pharma opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
