The Council is seeking to purchase healthwatch services that will place particular emphasis on reaching out to marginalised and vulnerable groups who might face additional challenges in accessing health and social care services. The provider will work with Local Authority to engage with a wide range of communities, including those who are often marginalised or vulnerable. To do this effectively, develop targeted engagement strategies that are tailored to the specific needs and characteristics of different groups. Full details of the requirement can be found in the Service Specification via In-Tend. A Market Engagement notice has not been published as none have been undertaken as this is a defined requirement.
