Description

Leicester City Council ('the Authority') invites tenders for the provision of Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) Paid Persons Representative (PPR) for Leicester. The PPR Service will provide support to a Relevant Person (RP) who has no family or friends who will and are able to act as an appropriate Relevant Persons Representative (RPR). A Relevant Person is a person who lacks the capacity to decide upon where to reside and is either being considered or, is already residing within a care/nursing home or hospital, in which their required care or treatment amounts to a deprivation of liberty. The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) DoLS provide protection for vulnerable people who are accommodated in hospitals or care homes (referred to as managing authorities) in circumstances that amount to a deprivation of their liberty, and who lack the capacity to consent to the care or treatment they need. In such cases, MCA DoLS provide a lawful way to deprive someone of their liberty within the meaning of Article 5 of the ECHR, provided that this is determined to be in their best interests and the less restrictive option in order to keep them safe from harm. The purpose of the Paid Persons Representative (PPR) is to act in a professional capacity to fulfil the Relevant Person’s Representative role in relation to a specified relevant person for the period their deprivation of liberty is authorised under what is referred to as a standard authorisation.
