Description

Derby City Council is seeking to appoint a single Service Provider to deliver an Integrated Independent Advocacy Service hub with a single point of entry for anyone who requires and meets the relevant eligibility criteria for statutory advocacy support in Derby, a specialist advocacy service to support the requirements of the Care Act 2014 and for vulnerable adults of working age who are not eligible for statutory advocacy.  

The Service provider will deliver a standardised process for the receipt, management & monitoring of advocacy referrals; provide economies of scale and support investment in good quality information, training, and data management systems.

The Service Provider will be expected to work closely with the Council and health partners with a focus on frontline delivery and partnership working.

The initial term is for three years. The contract is estimated to commence 1st April 2025 and expire 31st March 2028. There will be an option to extend the contract for up to a further two years in annual increments, subject to satisfactory performance and business needs. Maximum contract period is, therefore, 5 years.

Re-Opening of Mental Health Independence and Support Framework

The purpose of this framework is to offer support to those people living in Sheffield who have a severe mental health problem that is having a significant effect on their health and wellbeing. Mental health needs are increasing, economic and environmental factors are taking their toll. The aim of this framework is to address some of these issues before they can develop, offering support at the right time and enabling a return to independence as quickly as is possible. For others it may be ongoing support at a level that allows as much autonomy as the individual can manage. Services will be available to individuals who reside in Sheffield who have a diagnosis of severe mental illness and have eligible needs under the Care Act 2014. Once an individual's needs have been assessed as being eligible for Social Care funding, they will be allocated a package of support. This support must meet the needs set out in the Care Act (2014) Assessment or Section 117 assessment. It is the responsibility of the assessor to decide what level of support will be required for each individual. This decision will benefit all parties who are then able to understand and tailor support to the individuals' current abilities and needs. The level of support will be determined at assessment stage and will fit into one of the two categories: LOT 1 - Standard Support 1.1 Outreach 1.2 Supported Accommodation LOT 2 - Enhanced Support 2.1 Outreach 2.2 Supported Accommodation
