Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lewisham has completed the awarding stage for a contract titled "Violence against Women and Girls Community and Refuge Service," falling under the Health and Social Work Services category. The procurement process involved an open procedure to provide a comprehensive service addressing crisis management, advocacy, and support for victims of gender-based violence in the UKI44 region. The contract was awarded to the supplier "Refuge" for an amount of £3,205,600, with the contract signed on 6th June 2025.
