What happened
Leicester City Council awarded this contract to Action First Assessments Limited worth £118,849 on 31 Mar 2025. The contract runs until 1 Dec 2025.
Description
This is a below threshold direct award under the Light Touch Regime, on the basis of Schedule 5 (7), continuity of service whilst an existing procurement is concluding.
The Best Interest Assessors (BIA) service is a required statutory function under the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards. It is therefore unavoidable for the local authority not to provide this service.
The service assists the Council to deliver their statutory responsibilities, as outlined in the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and subsequent Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards, to ensure that where a decision to deprive someone of their liberty is required it is made lawfully and based on relevant best practice, guidance and case law.
