For the award of new provision of an
Independent Mental Advocacy (IMCA) following a transparent tender
led by Tameside Council
RESOLVED - That the provision of an
independent mental advocacy service, following the transparent
tender led by Tameside Council be awarded as outlined in the
report
Option 1 - To approve the recommendation of
contributing towards the tri-partite IMCA Contract Arrangement with
Tameside leading. This includes Tameside awarding the new contract
for 2020-2025. This is based on the same overall budget as the
previous commission and will ensure that as an authority, we are
legally compliant
Option 2 - To do nothing and have no contract in place. The service
is a statutory requirement under the Mental Capacity Act 2005. If
this service was not re-tendered it would mean that the council
will not be able to meet the statutory requirements of the Mental
Capacity Act 2005 placing some of our most vulnerable citizens at
risk.
Option 2
