UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Hampshire County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Hampshire Domestic Abuse Authentic Voice Panel," which falls under the services category, specifically health and social work services. The procurement, conducted on behalf of the Hampshire Domestic Abuse Partnership (HDAP), aimed to continue and sustain the work of an existing Authentic Voice panel, ensuring that the voices of domestic abuse victims and survivors are integrated across all aspects of the Partnership's work per the Domestic Abuse Act 2021. The process used a limited procurement method, with competition below the threshold, concluding with the award date on 27 January 2026. The contract period begins on 8 April 2026 and spans until 31 March 2027, with potential renewals extending to 2030. The location of the buyer is Winchester, UK, and the award has been presented to SAFELIVES, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Bristol.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses capable of delivering services aligned with the health and social work sector, particularly those with expertise in supporting domestic abuse victims. Organisations interested in developing services focused on social impact and community support would benefit from engaging in similar tenders. SMEs with a track record in social work or health services stand well-positioned to compete effectively in this type of procurement, as demonstrated by the successful bidder SAFELIVES. The continuity and sustainability aspects inherent in this project suggest ongoing business potential through contract renewals and partnerships with local authorities such as Hampshire County Council.
