Relevant Person's Representative (RPR) Advocacy

Wrexham County Borough Council has completed a direct procurement process for the provision of a Relevant Person’s Representative (RPR) Advocacy service in Wrexham, Wales, as part of its efforts under the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (2008). The contract, identified as Proc-25-172, falls under the services industry category specifically targeting social work and related services, classified under CPV 85300000. The procurement, conducted below the threshold without competition, culminated on 5th November 2025, with the contract being signed on the same day.

Following this, the contract commenced on 6th November 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st December 2026, with an optional provision for additional services on a spot purchase basis. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the advocacy and social services sector, particularly those specialising in legal and social care support for individuals deprived of their liberty. With Wrexham County Borough Council focusing on sub-central government public authority contracts, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Wales stand a great chance to engage due to the nature of the services required and locality-specific preference.

Companies demonstrating expertise in advocacy and a keen understanding of the legislative framework around liberty deprivation will be adept for such opportunities, particularly given the tailored nature of the service provision and the potential for securing additional work on an hourly basis.
