Why this procedure was chosen
Searches carried out with Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance have confirmed that the current supplier is the sole provider for this type of service in West of Scotland. Competent suppliers are located in other areas of the UK but these tend to have a limited and specific geographical reach. Previous tendering exercises have resulted in a single bid from this supplier. This is a specialist service which requires indepth knowledge of the psychiatric inpatient setting in Glasgow. To achieve a comparable level of skill, suppliers would need to undertake extensive training over a considerable period of time which would result in disruption to the existing service- a transition period of a minimum of 12 months would be required.
