Classified under health and social work services, this process spans across North Yorkshire and is expected to start in April 2026. The procurement method was open, characterised by a light-touch regime, and culminated in an award notice on 12 December 2025, with a gross value of £6,216,000.
The standstill period concludes on 23 December 2025, with the contract set to commence from 1 April 2026, potentially extending until 2033. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the statutory advocacy sector, particularly those adept in health and social services. It is well-suited for organisations prioritising quality service delivery and community engagement, with a substantial emphasis on technological innovation and social value.
