Summary of the contracting process

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight commissioned a specialist support service for families of individuals arrested or investigated for online child sexual abuse material. The service provides health and social work support to affected families across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. It is a public-sector service requirement focused on specialist family support in the context of online child sexual abuse investigations. The procurement covered one service lot. The selected provider is Hope After Harm, the trading name of The Thames Valley Partnership, a voluntary, community and social enterprise classified as a small or medium-sized business. The requirement is therefore suited to organisations with specialist safeguarding and family-support capability.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was awarded to Hope After Harm on 24 August 2026. The contract is active and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2028, with two 12-month extension options allowing a maximum end date of 31 March 2030. Its value is £142,929.45 excluding VAT and £171,515.34 including VAT. One supplier was selected for the single lot. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process; the published information identifies the procedure but does not set out separate scoring criteria. The procurement was below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates established demand from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight policing and criminal-justice environment for specialist support to families affected by online child sexual abuse investigations. A credible future provider would need a focused service for families, appropriate safeguarding expertise, and the ability to support people where an individual has been arrested or investigated for online child sexual abuse material. Delivery capability must cover Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, with sufficient organisational capacity to provide a consistent specialist service across the area. The award also shows that a voluntary, community or social enterprise operating at small or medium-sized-business scale can meet this requirement through a below-threshold limited competition. Organisations building relevant family-support and safeguarding experience should monitor this buyer’s continued need.
