Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council is overseeing the procurement process for the "Domestic Abuse Support Service" contract, classified under Health and Social Work Services. The procurement stage is currently focused on the award update, with Leeds Women's Aid being appointed as the supplier. The process involves services essential for supporting individuals affected by domestic abuse, with delivery in the region of UKE42, notably Leeds, UK. Leeds Women's Aid has been associated with providing this service due to technical reasons, showcasing a lack of competition and the necessity for continuity of care. The contract is set to last for a period of 1,080 days, and was signed on the 22nd of May, 2025, with active updates as of April 30th, 2026.

The Domestic Abuse Support Service presents growth opportunities for entities experienced in health and social work, particularly those specialising in support services for domestic abuse victims. The tender can create prospects for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that are adept in providing emergency accommodation, advocacy, and multi-agency collaborations. Businesses with expertise in quick service delivery and partnership-building within communities will find this opportunity align with their strategic objectives. With the procurement method being negotiated without a notice, it suits organisations with established networks and a proven track record in domestic violence service delivery. The continued funding allocations offer capacity for enhanced support and further community engagement in strategic partnerships.

Procurement Information

* Leeds Women's Aid are the only provider that has the expertise, capacity, experience and local knowledge and connections to deliver the service at this time, which correlates with the requirements of the provision as to a lack of competition for technical reasons. * the current providers of the Leeds Domestic Violence Service are Leeds Women's Aid, Behind Closed Doors and Women's Health Matters. All three organisations are vastly experienced at providing this specialist service in the city. All three organisations work well in partnership and have a proven track record of delivering a quality service for their clients. Neither BCD nor WHM have the capacity to deliver the entire service independently and do not have experience of delivering refuge provision, however the overall service benefits from the expertise that they are able to bring to community-based elements of the service. This is done through sub-contracting arrangements with LWA. * there are no concerns with the current provision which would suggest that there is any meaningful risk with entering into a new contract with Leeds Women's Aid. They have consistently met their contractual obligations and all three partners have engaged with clients, commissioners and other stakeholders with regard to ongoing service delivery and improvement. * LDVS has been instrumental in establishing and developing key partnership arrangements in the city, particularly the daily DRAM, the twice weekly MARAC meetings and the DAVA Forum * the LDVS brand is well established in the city for clients, health care professionals and third sector organisations. * recommissioning the LDVS service in the city would provide continuity of care for vulnerable, at-risk clients and minimise disruption for those currently working with the service. * LDVS has been awarded various pots of additional funding throughout the last contract period which allowed the service to offer enhanced support to people experiencing domestic abuse. The service is well placed to quickly deliver additional or new elements of support to individuals and families in the city through their already established links and structures.
