Spot Purchase

Spot purchase for statutory and non-statutory advocacy

If you are a local authority outside of the City of York who would like to commission our services, please get in touch. This might be for the Relevant Person's Representative's role - supporting people under a deprivation of liberty in a care home, or for a Care Act case where you are responsible for someone living in the City of York who needs a care act advocate.  It might also be to help someone receive some general advocacy assistance. These are not commissioned under our contract and have to be purchased separately.

We consider spot purchase requests on a case-by-case basis, depending on staff availability. If you would like to make a request, please submit an enquiry by contacting us via our office inbox, and we will inform you if we are able to proceed with your request. Before any work can begin, we’ll need a completed and signed spot purchase form, along with a purchase order number so we can issue an invoice. We will provide this if we are to proceed with the piece of work.  

Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy and Independent Mental Health Advocacy are delivered at the location where the person is, so regardless of local authority if someone is in a care home, hospital or mental health unit in York and requires an IMCA or IMHA this will be provided, free of charge.
