Provision of Independent Professional Advocacy Services for children and Young people

Powys County Council is planning a procurement process for the provision of Independent Professional Advocacy Services aimed at children and young people in Powys. The contract, which falls under the Health and social work services category, will be executed in the UKL24 region within the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 1st October 2025.

The planned contract period is from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2030. This procurement process is characterised by the 'lightTouch' regime indicating a focus on a less stringent regulatory framework applicable to this service category. This planned tender opens up significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in providing advocacy services for young people.

Eligible businesses can benefit from establishing a partnership with a public authority, thus enhancing their market presence and contributing to community well-being. Companies interested in expanding their service offerings in the public sector and engaging in substantial contract work within the Powys region should consider participating in this procurement opportunity.
