Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Gloucestershire Police initiated a procurement process to secure Independent Stalking Advisory Caseworker (ISAC) Services. This tender, categorised under "Other community, social and personal services" (CPV code 98000000), pertains to the Gloucestershire region, specifically Quedgeley. The procurement method used was a limited procedure due to no suitable tenders being received in response to an open procedure. The planned services include providing advocacy and support to individuals aged 16 and above, addressing high-risk non-domestic abuse cases and collaborating with other local services. The most recent update on this process indicates an unsuccessful status, with the contract not being awarded due to non-compliant bids. Notably, the procurement adhered to the Light Touch Regime guidelines, and alternative negotiations with the sole bidder are anticipated.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community support services, particularly those capable of managing high-risk cases and collaborating with multiple stakeholders. Service providers with experience in advocacy, social support, and handling sensitive cases would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, organisations familiar with the Light Touch Regime and adept at navigating limited procurement procedures would find this an ideal growth opportunity, given the unmet demand and the scope for strategic partnerships to provide critical support services in Gloucestershire.
