Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council is currently inviting tenders for the provision of support services for children aged 5-18 living in or recently vacated domestic abuse households. The project, titled "26022 Support for Children Living in DA Households," falls under the health and social work services category and is based in the UKH12 region, United Kingdom. This procurement is in the Tender stage, with potential bidders required to submit their proposals by 19th June 2026. The open competition procurement method is being used for this below-threshold tender, with services expected to commence on 1st October 2026 and continue through 30th September 2029.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for service providers specialising in child support services, particularly those with expertise in bespoke interventions for young people affected by domestic abuse. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, given the emphasis on a child-centred approach and the need for collaborative working with domestic abuse professionals. Successful bidders will play a crucial role in improving the quality of life for affected young persons, while also offering parent and carer support, thereby potentially expanding their service offerings and market presence.

Notice Information

Notice Title

26022 Support for Children Living in DA Households

Notice Description

The aims of this contract are to help provide stability and support for children aged 5 - 18 who are experiencing domestic abuse between their parents and/or carers. The aim is to support children who are currently living in the household or who have recently (3 months) vacated the household in which DA was occurring. The support offered should take a child centred approach, giving a voice to the young person (YP), and should cover a wide range of issues such as emotional impact, coping mechanisms and health relationship work. This is to be delivered in a series of bespoke 1:2:1 intervention which have been tailored in a way to suit the needs of the YP. The second aspect of the support offered is to parents and carers in helping them understand the impacts of DA upon their YP and how they might need to change or respond differently to the needs of their YP. Lastly, where direct support isn't possible, the provider will be required to work with relevant DA professionals to ensure additional support routes may be offered. Examples of this are through training, sharing of resources or additional external support structures. The successful provider will need to work with fellow support professionals to ensure that the young persons needs are being met and their quality of life is improving. Said provider will also be required to act as an advocate for the YP where appropriate through engagement with further professionals. Please note that the service will not be supporting YP where there is domestic abuse within their own intimate/personal relationships or where there is direct sexual abuse/violence.
