Coventry City Council is inviting suitably qualified Providers to submit tenders for the provision of the Healthwatch Coventry Service and Independent Health Complaints Advocacy Service (IHCAS).
The Provider of this service must be a Social Enterprise but can deliver the service via a ‘Hosted Model’ (Hosted Model is where an organisation runs a Healthwatch Service as well as providing other services) or a ‘Standalone Model’, where the organisation is set up solely to run a specific Healthwatch service and a constituted Community Interest Company registered with Companies House in its own right.
The Provider shall deliver the Healthwatch Coventry Service and be responsible for providing the Independent Health Complaints Advocacy Service on behalf of Coventry City Council. Although Healthwatch Coventry Service and IHCAS are separate services, the Council requires a single organisation to provide both independent services in order to meet statutory duties and requirements.
