What the notice says

The Council is procuring a Nearest Relative Proxy service, fulfilling the legal role of Nearest Relative for people where no appropriate person is available to undertake the role for them, in accordance with the Mental Health Act 1983 as amended by the Mental Health Act 2007. We anticipate services will be for around 10 individuals per year. However, this is subject to fluctuation, and we require the awarded provider to be able to support between 0 and 20 per year. The provider will be required to operate flexibility to meet all service need/demand.
