Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council commissioned a domestic abuse perpetrator behavioural change programme. The requirement is for support services intended to change perpetrators’ behaviour; the listed service classifications also cover safety, health and first-aid training, and personal development training. The programme is delivered in the Bath and North East Somerset area. The council is the buyer, and the contract was awarded to Society Without Abuse, a specialist organisation based in Swindon. This is a people-focused service rather than a purchase of goods or construction work, with delivery centred on behavioural change and training for people involved in domestic abuse.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Society Without Abuse. Bath & North East Somerset Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026. Its initial three-year term runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with one optional 12-month extension. The initial contract value is £105,000 excluding VAT (£126,000 including VAT); the tender description also states that the optional extension is valued at £35,000 excluding VAT. The procurement was a single lot. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the available procurement information.

For providers of domestic abuse interventions, this award indicates that Bath & North East Somerset Council buys a sustained behavioural change service, with training capabilities relevant to safety, health and personal development also represented in the requirement. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate specialist experience supporting people who perpetrate domestic abuse and the ability to deliver structured behaviour-change work over a multi-year service period. Providers with a relevant training offer and capacity to serve the Bath and North East Somerset area may also be well placed. Society Without Abuse, a specialist organisation, was selected through a direct award rather than an open competition, so the award is evidence of the buyer’s requirement and chosen provider, not a competitive scoring benchmark.
