Notice Title

Domestic Abuse and Outreach Service

Notice Description

This requirement is for the provision of a Refuge and Outreach service. Refuge offers safe accommodation and intensive support which is tied to that accommodation in Bracknell. Victims, including their children, must be refuge residents to access specialist emotional and practical support. The refuge accommodation should ideally be located across one or two properties (in a maximum of three properties) in a safe, secure, and confidential location to ensure that women and children staying in refuge can access peer support. A local area risk assessment needs to take place to establish that the location is discreet and appropriate for vulnerable women and their children (e.g., careful consideration to be given to other unsuitable properties in the vicinity of the refuge such as HMOs for single men). There are currently two refuges run by Berkshire Women's Aid (BWA) operating in Bracknell. These refuges are part of a BWA lease and do not form any part of this procurement process. Any new Service Provider will have to source their own property to operate the refuge service in Bracknell. The Outreach service is available to women and men aged 16+ living in Bracknell Forest, and who are suffering from, or are threatened by, domestic abuse. The contract duration will be for a maximum of 7 years, covering an initial period of 3 years plus 2 optional extensions, each of 2 years (3 + 2 + 2) This procurement process is being completed under the "Light Touch Regime" as an Extended Request for Quotation Organisations must register their interest on the South East Business Portal https://sebp.due-north.com in order to receive any changes or notifications issued by the Council during this tender process. The Council will not be held responsible for lack of communication to any organisation which does not register their interest. Clarification questions must be sent via messaging on this South East Business Portal site. The Council reserves the right not to award the contract in whole or in part, to cancel or amend the tender process and does not bind itself to accept any tender. The Council shall not be liable under any circumstances for any costs, charges or expenses incurred by any bidder or prospective bidder in responding to this notice or in taking part in this procurement process. Suppliers are advised to allow adequate time for uploading documents and to dispatch the electronic response well in advance of the closing time to avoid any last minute problems.
