Summary of the contracting process

The North Tyneside Borough Council has recently awarded a contract under the title "Integrated Domestic Abuse Services - Lot 2". This procurement process falls within the health and social work services industry category, aiming to deliver a fully integrated service with trauma-informed support for victims of domestic abuse. Located in the North Tyneside area, UKC22 in the United Kingdom, the procurement was conducted through a direct award method due to previous unsuccessful attempts.

The award notice was published in October 2025, with a standstill period ending on 24th October 2025.
