UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority’s Policing, Fire and Crime Directorate is seeking counselling and talking therapy services for victims of crime across York and North Yorkshire. The requirement has two countywide strands: support for adult victims and support for young victims aged 17 and under. This is a health and social care service, delivered across the combined authority area. Suppliers may be relevant if they can provide victim-focused therapeutic support to adults, children and young people, according to the lot or lots they pursue.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The contract is divided into two lots: counselling for adult victims and counselling for young victims aged 17 and under. The estimated value is £913,125 excluding VAT (£1,095,750 including VAT); the adult lot is valued at £785,287.50 excluding VAT and the young victims lot at £127,837.50 excluding VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 3 July 2027 to 31 March 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions. Questions were due by 30 October 2026 at 14:00, and bids by 27 November 2026 at 14:00. Award was expected by 22 February 2027. Evaluation weights quality at 75%, price at 15% and social value at 10%.

Both lots are identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so organisations in those sectors can consider bidding. The work is countywide and covers two distinct client groups: adult victims of crime, and young victims aged 17 and under. Providers with the capability and experience to deliver counselling or talking therapy to victims in the relevant age group are the natural fit. Quality accounts for most of the evaluation, with social value also assessed, so bidders should be prepared to demonstrate the quality of their service and its wider social contribution alongside their price. The adult service represents the larger part of the opportunity; suppliers can target either service or both. No specific accreditation or capacity requirement is described in the procurement details.
