Notice Title

HEA25007 Pre-Market Engagement: Community Based Domestic Abuse Service

Notice Description

HEA25007 Pre-Market Engagement Community Based Domestic Abuse Service Worcestershire County Council (the Council) would like to invite interested organisations to attend a virtual engagement session around the possible future delivery of a community based domestic abuse service across the county. In 2021 a new Domestic Abuse Act (2021) was introduced and placed new duties on local authorities across England to ensure that victims of domestic abuse and their children could access the right support in safe accommodation when they need it. To support these duties, new burdens funding was allocated to Local Authorities. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) have recently announced continuation of new burdens funding for 2025-26 to support Domestic Abuse initiatives. As a result, the Council wishes to commission a new, countywide, Community Based Support Service. Service aims include: o Raising awareness of domestic abuse in our local communities o Building resilience in communities in response to domestic abuse o Providing accessible support. o Providing opportunities to engage and support victim survivors earlier, thus reducing the number of domestic abuse incidents. o Reducing demand on statutory services. o Adopting a whole family and systems wide approach to domestic abuse The Council would therefore like, at this tentative stage in the development of proposals, and prior to formulating of any formal opportunities, to inform the market of our commissioning intentions and to consult on the content of the service specification. Future procurement activity will be considered in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 The Council intends to hold a virtual open information and feedback session for all interested organisations on: Wednesday 12th February 2025 11.30am - 12.30pm Virtual Meeting via Microsoft Teams The PowerPoint Slides and any supporting documents will be made available after the event.
