The supply of Employee Independent Domestic Violence Advisor (IDVA) and Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) Services

Notice Description

The MPS is tendering for the supply of Employee IDVA and ISVA Services to the MPS. The MPS is seeking through this tendering process to award a contract with a suitably capable supplier to provide these services for an initial term of two years with a unilateral option of the MPS to extend for a further period of one year to a maximum of 3 years.

Victims will be able to self-refer or be referred (with consent) by a colleague on their behalf. Victims can be referred to the service at any point regardless of whether or not a criminal investigation has been launched. There will be obligation on the supplier to provide any personal information to the MPS about their clients or offences that have been disclosed. The service is not reserved for just high-risk cases.
