Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire procured children and young people’s Independent Sexual Violence Adviser (CHISVA) services. The requirement covers health and social work, social work and related support, guidance and counselling, counselling, and community and personal services. The service is intended to provide independent specialist support to children and young people affected by sexual violence. Delivery is associated with Lincolnshire, with the buying organisation based at Police Headquarters in Nettleham, Lincoln. This is a public service provision rather than a goods supply, construction project or general consultancy. Relevant organisations are those delivering specialist sexual violence advice, advocacy, counselling or related support for children and young people, particularly providers able to work within a police and public-sector safeguarding environment.

The procurement was an above-threshold open procedure under the light-touch regime and is complete. Three bids were received and all three final-stage bidders were voluntary, community or social enterprises. Evaluation gave 60% to quality, 30% to cost and 10% to social value. The original estimated value was £1,000,000 net (£1,200,000 gross) in GBP. Lincolnshire Rape Crisis was awarded the contract on 9 July 2026 for £1,288,125 net (£1,545,750 gross) in GBP. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions to 30 September 2031. The tender deadline was 4 June 2026, and the award decision was due by 9 July 2026.

This award demonstrates established demand in Lincolnshire for specialist Independent Sexual Violence Adviser services for children and young people, delivered by a voluntary, community or social enterprise provider. A future competitor would need credible experience supporting children and young people affected by sexual violence, with the ability to provide independent advice, advocacy, guidance and counselling. Strong service quality would be central, because quality carried twice the evaluation weight of cost, while social value also formed part of the assessment. Providers should be able to operate reliably at public-service scale, work appropriately with safeguarding and policing partners, and demonstrate outcomes and delivery arrangements suited to a specialist support service. Organisations combining sexual violence expertise with community-sector delivery experience would be well placed.
