UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland is currently in the planning stage for a procurement titled "Victim Support & Restorative Practice." This process aims to consolidate services for victims of sexual and domestic abuse and expand support to all victims across Cleveland. An essential milestone in this process is the Pre-Market Engagement Event scheduled for 8th June 2026, which will be conducted online via Microsoft Teams. This contract, classified under the services category, is expected to be above the threshold and is particularly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. The initial contract term is set for two years starting from 1st April 2027, with potential extensions leading up to 31st March 2031. The primary industry categories involved include medical practices, guidance, counselling services, and miscellaneous services.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities for service providers specialising in victim support, medical practices, or counselling services. Businesses that can provide comprehensive and innovative solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of victims could find this tender particularly advantageous. As the procurement allows for engagement with the buyer through the Pre-Market Engagement Event, businesses have a unique opportunity to influence the final specifications, thereby increasing their chances of securing a contract. Establishing a presence in this sector not only supports vital community services but also positions businesses favourably within sub-central government supply chains.
