Summary of the contracting process

The City of York Council, in collaboration with North Yorkshire Council, has completed a procurement process for the "Domestic Abuse Safe Accommodation Strategy Needs Assessment Refresh" project. This contract, focused within the public services category, is aimed at evaluating and updating the safe accommodation and support services strategy for domestic abuse, carried out in the regions of York and Northallerton, United Kingdom. The project was awarded to SAFELIVES, a supplier based in Bristol, following a direct procurement method undertaken without competition, as the contract value was below the threshold. The contract was signed on 22nd June 2026, with the award made on 22nd July 2026, and it will be active from 6th September 2026 to 7th March 2027.

Organisations with experience in strategic needs assessments and those looking to engage with public authority defence against domestic abuse will find this project pertinent. The contract's focus on data analysis, service provision evaluation, and strategy development in the domestic abuse sector makes it especially relevant for consultancy firms that have robust analytical capabilities and a commitment to community safety and support services. Given the collaborative nature of the procurement process, this contract also serves as an exemplar of potential synergies for businesses looking to expand their expertise and contributions to public welfare initiatives.
