Notice Title

The Drive Project: Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Services

Notice Description

Please note this is an AWARD notice and NOT a call for competition. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire, in partnership with the Drive Project has awarded a contract for delivery of 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 was 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.
