Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Sexual Violence Support Service for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough," led by The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire, is focused on awarding a contract to deliver a comprehensive sexual violence support service across all ages and genders. This process involves the provision of a Countywide Independent Sexual Violence Adviser (ISVA) Service, aimed at delivering continuous support to survivors regardless of whether the incident was reported to the police. The procurement stage is at the award phase as of 22nd April 2026, following the completion of planning and tender stages earlier in the year. The project spans sectors such as health and social work services, community health services, and counselling services. The contract performance period is scheduled to start on 1st July 2026, ending on 31st March 2028, with options for extension up to March 2031. This tender has been procured through an open procedure, ensuring competitiveness and transparency. It targets service delivery across regions UKH12 and UKH11 in the United Kingdom.

This tender creates notable business opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs), and organisations specialising in community health and counselling services. With a gross contract value exceeding 5.85 million GBP, businesses adept at delivering comprehensive support services and having substantial resources could benefit from entering this expanding field of public health and social services. The focus on inclusivity in service delivery presents opportunities for businesses experienced in handling diverse client bases. The nature of the contract, inclusive of significant renewal possibilities and the potential to contribute to social impact in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, makes it an appealing prospect for organisations looking to expand their service portfolios and customer reach. Established organisations like the Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre, awarded the contract, serve as inspiring benchmarks for entities aspiring to extend their community support services.
