Bury Council is seeking to appoint a specialist provider with appropriate skills and experience to provide Independent Mental Health Advocacy (IMHA) to people in hospital. The need for this service has arisen due to a change in policy at the Cygnet Bury hospital.
Cygnet Bury refers patients to the Bury Council commissioned Bury Advocacy Hub for support, the service is delivered by NCompass. Cygnet Bury has several adult patients who are deaf and therefore an IMHA service is required to provide appropriate support to these people. The service is for people aged 18+.

Higher Woodhill Viaduct carries the East Lancashire Railway over the River Irwell and runs north to south. The structure consists of seven spans.
- The outer two spans to the north and two to the south are masonry arches
- The three central spans (spans 3, 4 & 5) each comprise 4 No. riveted plate girders spanning between masonry piers.
Spans 3, 4 and 5 steel spans are approximately 13.5m with the piers set at a skew of 26 degrees. Span 3 of the bridge is over recreational ground, whilst spans 4 & 5 are over the River Irwell.
A number of elements of the structure have been identified as being in poor condition and requiring remedial works. As such, a refurbishment scheme is to be undertaken to extend the serviceable life of the viaduct.
This project is to create a Family Hub within an existing semi-detached building. The building is in need of some access redesign on the ground floor along with refurbishment both internal and external to improve the standard of the building.
Closing time and date for tender submissions:
12.00 Noon on Tuesday 27th May 2025
