Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire commissioned the DRIVE Project for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. The requirement is to deliver the DRIVE model, a nationally recognised, evidence-based intervention for perpetrators of high-harm domestic abuse. Its purpose is to reduce serious harm by addressing the behaviour of perpetrators who present the greatest risk to victims, children and communities, as part of a government-funded national approach. The work covers guidance and counselling, health and social work, rehabilitation and community health services, alongside related community, social and personal services. Delivery is across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. This is a public-sector service opportunity suited to organisations working in domestic abuse perpetrator interventions, specialist counselling, behavioural change, rehabilitation or closely related health and social care provision.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an above-threshold open procedure. Four bids were received, including four from SMEs and three from voluntary, community or social enterprises. The evaluation weighted quality at 60%, price at 30%, and social value quality and price at 10%. Red Snapper Managed Services Limited was selected on 6 July 2026 for £1,129,074.97 excluding VAT, or £1,354,889.96 including VAT. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and is active from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. It includes optional extensions of nine months and two further periods of 12 months, with the contract potentially running until 31 March 2031. The tender submission deadline was 18 May 2026, enquiries closed on 11 May 2026, and the standstill period ended on 17 July 2026.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for specialist services addressing high-harm domestic abuse perpetrators in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. Competitors seeking similar work should be able to deliver the DRIVE model consistently and evidence an effective, structured intervention focused on changing perpetrator behaviour and reducing risk to victims, children and communities. Relevant capability includes specialist domestic abuse practice, perpetrator assessment and management, counselling or behavioural-change work, rehabilitation, and partnership delivery across health, social care and community services. The evaluation shows that service quality was substantially more important than price, while social value was also assessed. The requirement was considered suitable for both SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations can be credible competitors when they have the necessary delivery capacity and experience.
