About

Wolverhampton City Council awarded a contract to No award made - tender withdrawn for the provision of Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) Best Interest Assessors.

The contract, valued at £270,000, was intended to establish a framework for suitably experienced and qualified providers to undertake ad hoc DoLS assessments on an independent basis on behalf of the Supervisory Body.

The assessments were to be carried out under the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards legislation 2009, part of the Mental Capacity Act 2005, and the contract would be deemed void if new legislation were introduced.

Providers were required to commission Best Interest Assessors to assess adults aged 18 and above in care homes and hospitals, ensuring respect for individuals' qualities, abilities, and diverse backgrounds, and promoting rights, dignity, and self-determination.
