Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Tower Hamlets Council is currently in the Tender stage for a contract titled "HAC5564 VAWG (IDVA and Case Work) Services," aimed at providing support services for survivors of domestic abuse aged 16 and above. This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and is set within the borough of Tower Hamlets, London. The tender period will close on 2nd October 2019, with a contract duration expected to run from 1st January 2020 to 31st March 2024. With a total contract value of £720,000, the procurement method employed is the open procedure, inviting a broad range of suitable service providers to participate.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in domestic abuse support services, social work, and advocacy. Companies that can provide experienced staff, such as Independent Domestic Violence Advisors (IDVAs) and hate crime workers, will find this particularly relevant. The emphasis on co-location with local statutory and voluntary agencies also opens the door for consortia or subcontracting arrangements, allowing smaller firms and community-based organisations to partner with larger entities. Given the critical nature of this service in an area with one of the highest domestic abuse rates in the country, businesses well-versed in trauma-informed care and community support can effectively contribute to this essential initiative.
