Summary of the contracting process

Warrington Borough Council is commissioning a specialist children’s domestic abuse therapeutic intervention service for children and young people aged 5 to 19 who are affected by domestic abuse in Warrington. The service is a social care and therapeutic support requirement. The provider will supply staff with clinical experience and deliver an enhanced support offer tailored to each child or young person. Activities include one-to-one counselling, age-appropriate therapeutic sessions, and other direct and indirect interventions responding to individual needs. The service also includes signposting adults to additional domestic abuse-related support. This opportunity suits organisations that can combine specialist therapeutic work with safeguarding-aware support for children and young people affected by domestic abuse.

The procurement has reached tender: Warrington Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It covers one lot, with an estimated value of £165,000 excluding VAT and £198,000 including VAT. The contract period is from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2028, with one optional 12-month extension available, allowing the arrangement to continue until 1 November 2029. Potential suppliers could submit enquiries until 8 September 2026 at 12:00 and offers by 14 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the ProContract opportunity for DN825806. Offers are evaluated on quality, weighted at 65%, and price, weighted at 35%.

The requirement is well suited to specialist therapeutic and domestic abuse support providers with experience working directly with children and young people aged 5 to 19. Strong candidates will be able to provide clinically experienced staff who can deliver one-to-one counselling and age-appropriate therapeutic sessions, while adapting interventions to individual needs. Providers should also be able to deliver indirect support, coordinate or signpost adults to relevant domestic abuse services, and work safely with children affected by domestic abuse. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It may therefore suit established local or specialist organisations with the clinical expertise, safeguarding practice and delivery capacity to provide a sustained service in Warrington.
