Notice Title
Provision of The Drive Project
Notice Description
The Office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire is seeking to commission a specialist provider to deliver the DRIVE Project. The Drive Project is a response to domestic abuse that aims to reduce the number of child and adult victims of domestic abuse by disrupting and changing perpetrator behaviour. It implements a whole-system approach through an intensive individual case management intervention alongside a co-ordinated multi-agency response to drive perpetrators to change their behaviour. The Drive Project focuses on increasing victim safety alongside the crucial protective work of victims' services. The service has been developed to knit together existing services, complementing and enhancing existing interventions. PME was not undertaken as part of this procurement as The Drive Project is a national project with a pre-determined specification.
