Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned a borough-wide domestic abuse service. The service supports victims of current or historic domestic abuse across Barnsley, covering the full spectrum of risk levels. The requirement combines specialist support with social work, domestic services and accommodation-related provision, including social work services with accommodation and accommodation services. The work is delivered in Barnsley for the council and is classified primarily as health and social work services (CPV 85000000). It is a single, integrated service requirement rather than a set of separate service areas. The selected providers are specialist domestic abuse organisations, indicating that the requirement is aimed at organisations able to deliver coordinated victim support alongside associated social work and accommodation provision.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The original contract was signed on 8 December 2022 with Independent Domestic Abuse Service at £5,155,985. A further active contract was signed with IDAS on 1 June 2023 for £5,565,985, covering 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2030. A third active contract was signed with Independent Domestic Abuse Services on 6 February 2024 for £5,692,111, also covering 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2030. The procurement was evaluated on quality at 75%, social value at 5% and price at 20%; variants were not allowed. One bid was recorded. The original single lot is marked cancelled, while the related awards and contracts are active.

This procurement provides clear evidence of demand from Barnsley Council for a substantial, integrated domestic abuse support service. A credible future competitor would need specialist experience supporting victims of both current and historic abuse across all risk levels, with the operational capacity to coordinate services across a whole borough. Relevant capability includes social work, accommodation-based support and domestic services, rather than a narrow advisory offer. Providers should be able to manage a complex public service contract, work with vulnerable people and maintain service continuity across multiple delivery elements. The later contract amendment identifies a need for additional funding and two part-time specialist staff, pointing to the importance of workforce depth and the ability to expand specialist provision when service requirements increase.
