Summary of the contracting process

Wakefield Council is initiating a tender process for a Domestic Abuse Support Service under the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This procurement, valued at £3,000,000 GBP, falls within the Health and social work services industry category (CPV: 85000000) and will serve the Wakefield region (UKE). The competitive procedure with negotiation will be used, and the tender period ends on 21st February 2025. The planned contract period is from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2028, with an option to extend up to three additional years, potentially ending on 30th September 2031.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in social work, counselling, and community health services. Ideal candidates include those capable of providing trauma-informed care and a whole-family approach to support victims, their families, and perpetrators of domestic abuse. The Council encourages a multi-organisational delivery model, opening doors for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and third-sector organisations to form sub-contracting or consortium arrangements. Businesses willing to comply with the detailed submission requirements and negotiation phases are well-suited to compete for this contract. A Bidder event offering a networking opportunity is scheduled for 23rd January 2025 to facilitate potential collaborations among interested providers.
