Cheshire East Council and Cheshire West and Chester Council are seeking to commission an
Independent Statutory Advocacy Service that will cover the Cheshire footprint.
The Councils have identified the need for a strategic approach to the way advocacy is commissioned across Cheshire. This will enable a flexible, joined-up approach and ensure sufficient capacity to meet the demand for the service. It will also provide an improved
Service User experience for those accessing statutory advocacy interventions.
The provision of an Independent Statutory Advocacy Service will provide support to eligible
Service Users to access the following range of advocacy provision:
1) Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy (IMCA) including Deprivation of Liberty
Safeguards (DoLS); and any subsequent changes in legislation
2) Paid Relevant Persons Representative (RPR) role under DoLS; and any subsequent changes in legislation
3) Care Act Independent Advocacy under the Care Act 2014, and including Independent
Advocacy for Prisoners under the Care Act 2014
4) Independent Mental Health Advocacy (IMHA)
5) Continuing Healthcare Advocacy (CHC)
Bidders should express an interest in this opportunity and download all of the relevant documentation from the Chest system www.the-chest.org.uk reference DN568640.
