Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire is initiating a tender process for the project titled "The Drive Project: Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Services" under the supervision of the Drive Project. This procurement process, designed to deliver intervention services for high-risk domestic abuse perpetrators, aims to increase safety for victims by addressing perpetrator behaviour. The tender is categorised within services and is located in the UK, specifically in the Warwickshire region (UKG13). The key dates include an enquiry period ending on 16 January 2026 and the tender submission deadline of 22 January 2026, with an expected service start date of 1 April 2026. The open competition follows a below-threshold procurement method, with a funding envelope of £317,438 per annum for an initial 12-month contract, extendable for another year subject to funding availability.

The project provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in community, social, and justice services, particularly those with expertise in managing domestic abuse interventions. Suitable businesses would include service providers capable of delivering individual case management and facilitating multi-agency collaborations, while maintaining high technical and social value standards. This is an excellent opportunity for organizations specialising in health and social work, rehabilitation, and community action services to engage with a critical public safety initiative, offering potential for increased visibility and impact within the public sector. The competitive tender process requires submissions through the In-Tend Sell2 Bluelight Portal, favouring those who can demonstrate value for money and high-quality service delivery.

Notice Information

Notice Title

The Drive Project: Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Services

Notice Description

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire, in partnership with the Drive Project, is seeking a qualified Service Provider to deliver a Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Intervention Service. The Drive Project is a nationally recognised response to domestic abuse, designed to reduce the number of child and adult victims by disrupting and changing perpetrator behaviour. It adopts a whole-system approach, combining intensive individual case management with a co-ordinated multi-agency response to drive behavioural change. The project prioritises victim safety while complementing existing victim services. It targets high-risk or serial perpetrators, both male and female, aged 16 and over, who present the greatest risk of serious harm and typically engage poorly with existing services. The key objectives are to reduce the number of serial perpetrators of domestic abuse, reduce the number of repeat and new victims, and reduce the harm caused to victims and children. By addressing perpetrator behaviour, Drive tackles the root cause of domestic abuse and improves outcomes for victims and families. The appointed provider will deliver one-to-one case management for perpetrators, support systemic change through multi-agency collaboration, participate in the Perpetrator Panel (e.g., MATAC or similar forum), and work closely with the Drive Partnership, PCC, local authorities, IDVA services, and stakeholders to develop and adapt best practice models. This is a one-stage tender process. The contract falls below the Light Touch Regime threshold and is therefore outside the Procurement Act 2023; compliance with Act provisions is voluntary. The contract will be for an initial 12-month period with an option to extend for up to a further 12 months, subject to funding. Target go-live date is 01 April 2026. The funding envelope for this project is PS317,438 per annum (VAT exempt). Award of contract, including any extensions, is subject to receipt of programme funding.
