Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Assessments (DoLS): Project to Manage Backlog 2021-22

Worcestershire County Council (WCC) is scoping the potential of appointing a Provider to manage a backlog of Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) assessments, subject to funding being made available.

Tenderers are invited to submit a bid to deliver the service on that basis but should note that there is no guarantee that the project will go ahead at this time.

If sanctioned, the Council will appoint either a single organisation applying itself to provide the Service, a consortium with legal status or an organisation applying as the lead organisation for two or more organisations who wish to provide the service as a consortium without legal status.

Approximately 420 assessments would have to be completed and submitted to the DoLS team prior to the 25th March 2022. WCC would send a list of 35 assessments a week to the Provider.
