In plain English
Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council wants to buy an independent advocacy service for people in the borough, worth £278,995. Advocacy means trained advocates speaking up for people who need support to have their views heard. The contract covers several legal roles, including IMHA, IMCA, MCA, Care Act and NHS complaints advocacy, and should be able to meet a person's needs through a single referral.
What the buyer wants
• Provide advocacy that is person-centred and flexible, so that each individual's needs are met • Cover the full range of advocacy roles listed: IMHA, IMCA, MCA, Care Act and NHS complaints • Accept a single referral and meet the person's advocacy needs through experienced advocates trained in these roles
Requirements
What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice requires experienced advocates trained across several statutory advocacy roles, so a small business without a team of staff already trained in these roles would likely be ruled out.
