Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark is responsible for the procurement of a support service targeting survivors of domestic abuse and violence against women and girls (VAWG) in the region. The contract falls under the services category, specifically social work and related services, and health services. The procurement process was initiated using a selective method through competitive dialogue, with an emphasis on quality over price criteria. The contract has already been awarded and signed by Bede House Association as of 6th February 2026, with a value of £8,407,584.26, including the provision for renewal extending up to ten years. The initial planning for this procurement was set in motion in 2024, with a thorough review of existing services conducted to inform the development of a ground-breaking Women's Safety Centre in the borough.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in social and health services, particularly those focusing on gender-based violence and community service provision. Businesses with established expertise in these areas and the ability to contribute to a strategic partnership approach are well-suited to engage with this tender. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with strong competencies in delivering transformative community support services will find this contract valuable for growth and development within the health and social care sectors. The emphasis on quality criteria facilitates an environment where capable service providers can showcase their best practices and innovative solutions to meet the community's needs effectively.
