Summary of the contracting process

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority has concluded the procurement process for the "West Yorkshire Victims Referral, Assessment and Local Support Services" project. This contract, valued at £8,400,000 net over a period of three years starting 1 October 2025, with potential extensions, was awarded using an open procedure under the UKPGA 2023/54 legal basis. The tender, which falls under the "Health and social work services" category, was subject to the light-touch regime and covered all districts in West Yorkshire, including Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, and Wakefield. Victim Support emerged as the appointed supplier for this vital service aimed at supporting victims and those affected by crime, thereby enhancing both community well-being and criminal justice outcomes.

This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses specialising in counselling, health, and social work services to collaborate with local authorities in delivering critical social support functions. Organisations, particularly large VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises), with expertise in managing victim referral and assessment services would have been well-positioned to compete due to the high quality weighting in the evaluation criteria. The opportunity not only promised business growth through substantial engagement in public service delivery but also offered a platform for organisations to make a meaningful impact on community health and social well-being.
