Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council has completed the tendering process for the "Integrated Domestic Abuse Service for Northumberland" under tender ID NCC1372. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, resulting in a framework agreement that covers four lots: Domestic Abuse Support Service Northumberland, Northumberland Children's Domestic Abuse Therapeutic and Outreach Service, Northumberland's Behaviour Change Service, and Counselling Service for Adults of Domestic Abuse. The agreements span from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2028 with potential for two 12-month extensions until 2030. Located in Morpeth, Northumberland, UKC21 region, the tender addresses the Health and Social Work Services category, with a significant contract sum across the lots. The service positions were awarded to Harbour Support Services, Acorns (North Tyneside), and Cygnus Support Limited.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the health and social work services industry to grow, particularly those specializing in domestic abuse reduction and therapeutic services. Large and VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise) organisations are well-suited to compete, given the demand for trauma-informed practice across service delivery. The comprehensive nature of this framework suggests potential collaborations and expansion for service providers, as contract agreements span several years with optional extensions. Businesses that focus on providing impactful solutions in reducing domestic abuse incidences and supporting affected individuals will find this procurement arrangement conducive to growth and establishing a significant presence in the community health sector within Northumberland.
