Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire’s eight councils appointed a provider for a county-wide sanctuary scheme for people experiencing domestic abuse or stalking. The service supplies and installs home security measures, alongside advice and support to help clients stay safe in their homes and reduce harm. Gloucester City Council led the procurement on behalf of the participating authorities: Cheltenham Borough Council, Cotswold District Council, Forest of Dean District Council, Stroud District Council, Tewkesbury Borough Council, Gloucestershire County Council and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gloucestershire. Delivery is across Gloucestershire. The requirement combines practical property security work, including assessment and installation, with a safeguarding-focused service for clients referred at different levels of risk.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Safe Partnership Limited, an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise. The award date was 10 February 2026; the contract was signed on 25 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £1,511,664 including VAT (£1,259,720 excluding VAT). Its stated contract period runs from 25 September 2026 to 31 March 2029, with provision for four further 12-month extensions, up to 31 March 2033. This was a single-lot, open procedure. The published tender estimated a gross value of £1,750,000. Evaluation weighted quality, including social value, at 70% (60% qualitative responses and 10% social value), and price at 30%. Economic selection requirements were set out in the procurement questionnaire and tender documents.

The appointed supplier demonstrates the blend of capabilities needed for this county-wide service: delivering and installing home security measures, assessing properties, responding to risk-graded referrals, and providing practical safety advice and follow-up. Credibility also depends on safeguarding competence and the ability to coordinate with referrers, landlords and emergency services, including prompt escalation where safety concerns arise. Performance expectations are demanding: timely responses to high-, medium- and standard-risk referrals, rapid handling of safeguarding needs, and completion of many assessments and installations during the same visit. Suppliers need systems to monitor service standards, report performance against key indicators, collect client satisfaction feedback and keep referrers informed of outcomes. The evaluation’s substantial quality and social-value weighting indicates that strong service design and demonstrable community benefit matter alongside competitive pricing. The requirement was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
