About

London Borough of Camden is seeking a supplier for the Adult Social Care (ASC) Co-Production and Lived Experience Involvement Service for people drawing on care and support. The contract will replace current provision delivered by The Advocacy Project through the Learning Disabilities Experts by Experience (EbyE) service (Synergy) and mental health co-production within the Reach Out Camden (ROC) Alliance, which expires on 31 March 2027, and will run for 60 months from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032.

The service will cover people with learning disabilities (aged 14+), autistic people, adults receiving homecare, extra care, residential and nursing services, and people with mental health needs, providing tailored engagement pathways and embedding lived experience across governance, quality assurance, commissioning and service improvement through a mix of paid and voluntary roles using an accessible, relationship-based approach.
