Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office has initiated a tender titled "Assessment of CADA Projects," aimed at evaluating the current assessments of nine projects funded by the Children Affected by Domestic Abuse (CADA) fund in England and Wales. This process is classified under market research services, with a total value of £20,000. The contract period is set from 1 February 2021 to 31 March 2021, following a completion of the tender stage on 26 January 2021. The Home Office, led by the Home Secretary, seeks to enhance the quality and consistency of project evaluations to confirm that key deliverables—such as providing effective support to children—and reducing domestic abuse impact, are met effectively.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in social services evaluation and market research, particularly those with expertise in assessing interventions related to domestic abuse. Companies that understand the complexities and evidence thresholds in this field, as well as the barriers facing local authorities, will be well-positioned to compete. A solid understanding of existing evaluations and an ability to devise frameworks that can provide actionable insights will be advantageous in this process, making it particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) experienced in delivering value-driven social impact projects.

Notice Title

Assessment of CADA Projects

Notice Description

1.To provide an assessment of the current evaluations carried out by the 9 projects funded by the Children Affected by Domestic Abuse (CADA) fund, and provide an evaluations framework for future evaluations. 2. The contracting authority is the Home Secretary for the Home Department (the "Home Secretary"). 3. Through Section 56 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004 the Home Office created the CADA fund, which aims to fund services for children affected by domestic abuse. 4. Currently nine projects in England and Wales are funded through the fund, these projects have been funded since the financial year 2018/19. The key deliverables that all projects must deliver on currently are: * provision of high-quality support and advice for children who are affected by Domestic Abuse; * increased awareness of Domestic Abuse and the services and support available to Children affected by Domestic Abuse; * reduction in harm caused by Domestic Abuse; and * reduction in prevalence of Domestic Abuse. 5. The fund is due to enter it's fourth year and the Home Office would like to improve the standard and consistency of CADA project evaluations, both to provide evidence that the above deliverables are being met and to ensure that childhood outcomes are improving under the interventions delivered by these projects, as this will be a key deliverable next year. As such we are commissioning an assessment of current evaluations and a framework for future evaluations. 6. It is a requirement of this project that whoever undertakes the work has an understanding of the current landscape for the provision of services to children affected by domestic abuse at a national level. The provider must understand the key barriers that local authorities and organisations find in not only providing the services but also robustly evaluating them. This is so that any evaluation framework will be feasible to implement within the constraints and barriers faced. 7. It is a requirement that any organisation that undertakes this work has a solid understanding of the evidence thresholds in this space to inform an understanding of 'what works'. It would be preferable for the provider to have an existing framework set up to evaluate this. This requirement will allow us to quickly and efficiently begin to build the evidence on what works in this space, and ensure value for money by removing the risk of duplication. 8. It is also a requirement that organisations looking to undertake this work have a good understanding of what evidence currently exists in the provision of services for children affected by domestic abuse, and what evidence gaps exist and critically need to be filled. This will ensure that any evaluation framework will be geared not only towards getting the most out of each project, but ensuring value from the fund as a whole. Additional information: This opportunity has been awarded as a non OJEU single tender action, and is justified as: Over the last three years the Early Intervention Programme (EIF) have carried out a programme of work that has cost around PS160,000 to develop a number of projects which gives them the required expertise. This work conducted by the EIF means that they are uniquely placed to the provide what we require, they are the only provider with the necessary skills and experience to carry out this work. It would not represent value for money to pay another organisation to repeat the above work that EIF has already done. This work has been done at a cost of PS160k which is over 5 times more than what this assessment and evaluation framework is costed at (PS20-30K). As such, we have discounted any other providers.
