Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Children’s Trust is procuring domestic abuse support services for families affected by domestic abuse. The service is intended to provide early support through Early Help and Family Hubs in local communities, helping non-abusive parents and children recover from harm, remain safe and stable, and reduce the need for statutory intervention. Expected outcomes include improved wellbeing, resilience and school participation for children and young people, alongside support for parents to care for their children. This is a social services contract delivered in Birmingham. The requirement is relevant to organisations experienced in family support, domestic abuse services, safeguarding and recovery work involving children, young people and non-abusive parents.

The procurement is complete and Victim Support was selected for the single lot on 3 July 2026. The award value is £649,427.60 gross (£649,427.60 including tax as published), with a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029 and two possible 12-month extensions, allowing a latest end date of 30 September 2031. The award remains subject to a standstill period ending 29 July 2026, with signature scheduled for 4 August 2026. The estimated overall tender value was £3,250,000 excluding tax (£3,900,000 gross). It used an accelerated open procedure under the light-touch regime. Two bids reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted quality at 60%, social value at 10% and price at 30%.

This award demonstrates demand in Birmingham for structured domestic abuse support delivered through Early Help and Family Hubs, at a scale requiring an established service provider rather than a small standalone intervention. A credible future competitor would need practical experience supporting non-abusive parents and children affected by domestic abuse, with clear safeguarding arrangements and the ability to help families recover while keeping children safe. Capability should cover work with children and young people, parenting support, resilience and wellbeing, school participation, safe and stable housing outcomes, and prevention of escalation into statutory services. The evaluation gives greater importance to service quality than price and also tests social value, so providers would need evidence of effective delivery, measurable outcomes and wider community benefit.
