The tender, titled 'ASC0322 - Participation Service', falls under the Health and Social Work Services category. This initiative will be implemented in the East Midlands, UK.
The procurement is not a call for competition at this stage, with a specific focus on a service that empowers people with lived experience in adult social care.

This procurement opportunity is strategically favourable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) with capabilities in health and social work services. Businesses with expertise in co-production and community engagement, particularly those centred on collaboration with individuals experienced in social care, can leverage this opportunity for growth. The potential to contribute to shaping adult social care services in Leicester presents significant prospects for companies aiming to expand their footprint within public sector contracts.
Access to a network like the Making it Real group further amplifies opportunities for companies dedicated to impactful social contributions.
