Summary of the contracting process

Luton Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of three KidVA (Key Independent Domestic Violence Advisors) services in Luton. With a contract valued at £328,104.86 and classified under "Other community, social and personal services" (CPV: 98000000), the contract was awarded to Embrace (Child Victims of Crime). The contract period extends from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2027. The procurement was conducted through a non-specified method, and key dates include the tender closing on 24 January 2025 followed by the award date on 24 January 2025 and the publication of the award notice on 17 February 2025.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for suppliers targeting community and social services. Although the awarded supplier, Embrace (Child Victims of Crime), classified as an SME, secured the contract, the provision of specialised services for child victims of crime indicates potential growth niches for businesses with expertise in social services. Companies that specialise in supporting vulnerable child and adolescent demographics, particularly within the community service sector, would be well-suited for similar future opportunities issued by Luton Council.
