Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council has successfully completed the procurement of a Domestic Abuse Safe Accommodation Service, which includes refuge services. This procurement, under the Light Touch Regime, involves a single-provider framework for future non-core services. The tender, classified under social work services with accommodation, was conducted using an open procedure. The contract spans a period from 1st October 2025 to 28th September 2031, and it encompasses a core value of £1,000,000 over an initial four-year term, with a total reach of up to £3,000,000 considering potential call-offs over six years. The procurement is focused within several locations, prominently the United Kingdom.

This award presents significant business growth opportunities for entities within the health and social work service sectors, particularly those adept at delivering refuge and specialist support for domestic abuse victims. Businesses that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would find themselves well-suited to compete for such tenders. The awarded contract to Hopian, an SME, underlines the council’s commitment to supporting such organisations in providing crucial services to communities. The opportunity to be involved in future non-core services further increases the potential for lasting partnerships and sustained growth for suitable suppliers.
