ASC0322 - Participation Service

Leicester City Council (the Authority) re-commissioned its Participation Service which facilitates the participation and involvement of people with lived experience in adult social care decision making, policy making and involvement in the co production of local adult social care services. The service also works alongside the Making it Real group, which is made up of people who are experts by experience of drawing on social care or caring for someone who is, as well as people who work in social care, working together as equals. Further information about this group can be found at Making it Real (leicester.gov.uk). This below-threshold light touch service was procured following a targeted quotation process in line with the requirements under the below-threshold contract regulations of the Procurement Act 2023.
