IA3639 Court of Protection Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards - additional capacity as part of the recommissioning of Supported Living
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process was initiated by Staffordshire County Council, focusing on the "IA3639 Court of Protection Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards" project. This project falls within the Health and Social Work Services category and is located in the UKG24 region (Stafford). The process reached the Award stage with the awarding of a contract to Eden Brown Limited.
The procurement method was direct, below the threshold, and without competition, under a special Light Touch regime. Key dates include the signing of the contract on 1st May 2025, with a contract period extending until 30th April 2026, and a potential extension until 31st October 2026 if required. The contract is valued at £236,600, excluding VAT, with a gross amount of £283,920.
This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises specialising in health and social services. Eden Brown Limited, an SME based in London, secured this contract, highlighting a chance for similar businesses to expand their service offerings and client base. Firms with expertise in managing Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards and a robust team of registered Social Workers are ideally suited to compete in similar future tenders, particularly those addressing statutory requirements under UK government legislation like the Mental Capacity Act of 2005.
Complete applications to the Court of Protection for people living in supported living funded by Staffordshire County Council where the care and support restricts how they live; this is a CoP Deprivation of Liberty Safeguard (CoP DoLS). This is a statutory requirement and must be completed by a registered Social Worker. There are approx. 400 people that will require a CoP DoLS completing on their behalf over the next 12 months.
There is insufficient Social Worker (SW) capacity within the existing workforce to complete these. The project will provide additional SW capacity to ensure that SCC is compliant with our statutory responsibilities as set out in the Mental Capacity Act (2005).
