Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council is spearheading a procurement process for the commissioning of Domestic Abuse Support Services under the title "CPH137 - Domestic Abuse Support Services." This initiative falls within the health and social work services industry categories and targets the UKF1 region, covering the United Kingdom. Currently, the procurement is in the planning update stage, with preliminary market engagement activities scheduled. Interested parties are encouraged to provide feedback on the draft specification by 12 June 2026, and an information session is slated for 16 June 2026. The formal tender process is anticipated to commence in early July 2026, aiming to start the contract on 1 April 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs, as Derbyshire County Council seeks to establish a robust, community-driven support system for domestic abuse victims. Businesses equipped to deliver health and social work services, with experience in working with vulnerable populations, will find themselves well-suited to compete. The procurement process encourages consortium bids, allowing for a collaborative approach, thereby broadening the scope for innovative service delivery models. This project offers a substantial contract value and duration, with potential extensions, enabling sustained engagement for successful providers.
