When this comes round again

Suffolk County Council publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 152 notices, roughly one every 6 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

46% of Suffolk County Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

The service will deliver all Suffolk County Council's statutory advocacy for eligible adults, children & young people.

Some non-statutory advocacy will be procured under the same contract for eligible adults, children & young people.

Suffolk County Council's current contract for independent all-age advocacy ends on 31/03/2027.

We are procuring a replacement service to start 01/04/2027.

The contract will be for 3 years with the option to extend for up to 24 months, however the impact of Local Government Reform and the creation of 3 unitary authorities in Suffolk from 01/04/2028 may require the service to split into smaller geographical areas with potential impact on finance, activity and reporting.

Total cost over 5 years is approx.

£4,500,000.

Any VAT will be at the appropriate rate where chargeable, and we understand these services are exempt.
