Summary of the contracting process

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council has successfully concluded a procurement process for the "Adults DA Community Service", operating under the public authority sub-central government category. The procurement, involving health and social work services, was conducted through an open competition below the threshold, and the contract was awarded to Black Country Women's Aid. Situated in Dudley, United Kingdom, the procurement covered the provision of a Domestic Abuse Specialist Community Support Service scheduled to operate from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. This procurement stage has advanced from a tender, with essential deadlines including the submission cut-off on 18th November 2025, demonstrating a structured and outcomes-focused approach to supporting victims of domestic abuse.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in providing specialised social work services, particularly those focused on domestic abuse support. Businesses that deliver innovative, outcomes-focused support structures suitable for diverse victim needs, including smaller enterprises, and those classified as voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Such initiatives not only foster service provision expansion but also reinforce partnerships within local community safety networks, offering chances for collaboration and community impact, thereby enhancing business growth potential in public service sectors.
