The brief

Gateshead Council is in the process of recommissioning a contract to deliver advocacy services.

The current advocacy contract will expire on 30th September 2026.

Following consideration of the service requirements and the needs of people who access advocacy, it is proposed that the advocacy contract is procured as a single contract rather than divided into lots.

This approach is justified as many individuals require access to more than one type of advocacy during their journey (e.g., statutory advocacy, issue-based advocacy, and specialist advocacy).

Delivering these through one provider enables cohesive support for individuals, including a consistent advocacy approach and smooth transitions…
